The '''minortonic family''' tempers out the minortone comma (also known as "minortonma"), {{monzo| -16 35 -17 }}. The head of this family is 5-limit minortone temperament, with generator a minor tone.

As a 5-limit temperament, mitonic becomes minortonic, a super-accurate microtemperament tempering out the minortone comma, {{monzo| -16 35 -17 }}. Flipping that gives the 5-limit wedgie {{multival| 17 35 16 }}, which tells us that 10/9 can be taken as the generator, with 17 of them giving a ~6, 18 of them a ~20/3, and 35 of them giving a ~40. The generator should be tuned about 1/16 of a cent flat, with 6<sup>1/17</sup> being 0.06423 cents flat and 40<sup>1/35</sup> being 0.06234 cents flat. 171, 559 and 730 are possible equal temperament tunings.

However, as noted before, 32/21 is only a ragisma shy of (10/9)<sup>4</sup>, and so a 7-limit interpretation, if not quite so super-accurate, is more or less inevitable. While 559 or 730 are still fine as tunings, the error of the 7-limit is lower by a whisker in [[171edo]]. 21 generators gives a ~64/7. [[Mos scale]]s of size 20, 33, 46 or 79 notes can be used for mitonic.

Domain adds the [[landscape comma]], 250047/250000, to the minortone comma, giving a temperament which is perhaps most notable for its inclusion of the remarkable subgroup temperament [[Chromatic pairs #Terrain|terrain]].
