Some consider the simple badness to be a sort of badness which favors complex temperaments. The '''logflat badness''' is developed to address that. If we define ''B'' to be the simple badness (relative error) of a temperament, and ''C'' to be the complexity, then the logflat badness ''L'' is defined by the formula | Some consider the simple badness to be a sort of badness which favors complex temperaments.
