=== Division of a thirteenth (e. g. 10/3) into n equal parts ===
{{Editable user page}}
Division of e. g. the 10:3 into equal parts can be conceived of as to directly use this interval as an equivalence, or not. The question of [[equivalence]] has not even been posed yet. The utility of 10:3 or another thirteenth as a base though, is apparent by being the top of the upper structure of jazz voicings and the complete ambitus of three, later five, of the church modes (Dorian G below low D to E above high D, Phrygian A below low E to F above high E and Mixolydian C below low G to A above above high G and later Aeolian D below low A to B(b) above high A and Ionian F below low C to D above high C; it is unknown whether a scale on Bb was within the question before the Baroque period). Most importantly, a minor thirteenth is the quadruple of a fourth while a major thirteenth is the triple of a fifth, so diatonic scales will not generate prime edXIIIs though these have 1-3-5-7-10 pentads rather than the tone clusters of an equal division of a (perfect) fourth or fifth. Although they no longer count as equivalent, 2-3 and 4-3 are still as valid suspensions of normal root position pentads as 9-10 and 11-10. Many, though not all, of these scales have a pseudo (false) octave, with various degrees of accuracy.  
The '''equal division of 10/3''' ('''ed10/3''') is a [[tuning]] obtained by dividing the [[10/3|just major thirteenth (10/3)]] into a number of [[equal]] steps.  


Incidentally, one way to treat 10/3 as an equivalence is the use of the 4:5:6:7:10 chord as the fundamental complete sonority in a very similar way to the 4:5:6:(8) chord in meantone. Just as in meantone it takes four 3/2 to get to 5/1, tempering out the comma 81/80. So, doing this yields 9, 12, 21 and 33 tone 3MOS. While the notes are rather farther apart, the scheme is uncannily similar to [[Augmented family|augmented]] temperament. "Macro-augmented" might be a practically perfect term for it if it hasn't been named yet.

Division of 10/3 into equal parts does not necessarily imply directly using this interval as an [[equivalence]]. Many, though not all, ed10/3 scales have a perceptually important [[Pseudo-octave|false octave]], with various degrees of accuracy.


The branches of the Bijou family are named thus:
The structural significance of 10/3 or another thirteenth is apparent by being the the top of the upper structure of jazz voicings, as well as a fairly trivial point to split the difference between the [[3/1|tritave]] and the [[4/1|double octave]]. 10/3 is also the complete ambitus of three, later five, of the church modes{{clarify}}.


2&10: Macro-Injera and Macro-Shrutar and Macro-[[Diaschismic family|srutal/pajara]] (Quadrifold Symmetric and Hexachordal Major)
One approach to ed10/3 tunings is the use of the 2:3:6 chord as the fundamental complete sonority in a very similar way to the 4:5:6 chord in meantone. Whereas in meantone it takes four [[3/2]] to get to [[5/4]], here it takes eight [[3/1]] to get to [[3/2]] (tempering out the comma 5000000/4782969 in the 5-limit). This [[regular temperament]] yields monolarge mos with 1–12 notes, followed by a 13-note [[12L 1s (10/3-equivalent)|12L 1s⟨10/3⟩]] mos.
