27ed4 is an equal tuning that divides the 4/1 ratio (double-octave, tetratave, fifteenth) into steps of 88+(8/9) cents.
{{Infobox ET}}
27ed4 is an equal tuning that divides the [[4/1]] ratio (double-octave, tetratave, fifteenth) into steps of 88<sup>8</sup>/<sub>9</sub> cents.


It serves as a good first approximation to [[Nelinda#Xenharmonic Systems for Nelinda|nelindic temperament]], and is in many respects a "3n+1 cousin" of [[12edo|12et]] for 5-limit music (even though it takes every other step of the dissimilar [[27edo|27et]]), with relatively high error but low complexity, similar step size, and even sharing a common comma ([[128/125]]). Note the latter means that 27ed4 divides 4/1 into three approximate 8/5's, just as 12ed2 divides 2/1 into three 5/4's, and thus it has a 5/2 equally sharp of rational as the 5/4 in 12ed2. Its 7 and 13 approximations are a bit sharp themselves, and overall it lends itself well to IoE compression: the TE tuning gives one of 2395.819236 cents.

Its 7 and 13 approximations are a bit sharp themselves, and overall it lends itself well to IoE compression: the TE tuning gives one of 2395.819236 cents.
 
This tuning also lends itself to Tetrarchy temperament, effectively 7-limit [[Archytas clan|Archytas temperament]] for the [[4/1|tetratave]]. In this case, the major mossecond (5 mossteps) represents [[9/7]] and the minor mossecond (3 mossteps), a very accurate [[7/6]]. The generator is a sharp diatonic fifth (711.11¢), contextually a perfect mosthird (8 mossteps). The TE tuning gives a tetratave of 2393.9334 cents.

== Intervals ==
The following table of intervals uses both the 7-note 6L 1s [[MOS scale]] of Nelindic for the naturals (simple A-G notation and standard sharps/flats for the [[chroma]]) and the 7-note 3L 4s scale (standard A-G notation using the typical [[Genchain mode numbering|genchain]] from [[mosh]]) for Tetrarchy. The 6L 1s scale can be extended to the 13-note (7L 6s) scale, these would include all of the sharps except for F#. Due to the L/s ratio of 3:1, in the 13-note case, most former diminished intervals become minor, most former minor intervals become augmented, and most former augmented intervals become major. Similarly, the 3L 4s scale can be extended to a [[7L 3s (4/1-equivalent)|7L 3s]] scale, by dividing the long intervals into sets of 3 and 2 mossteps. These extended scales will usually be melodically preferable over the 6-note and 7-note scales, which have extremely wide melodic spacing comparable to 3edo.

== Temperaments ==
There rank-2 temperament interpretation of the 3L 4s is called Tetrarchy ([http://x31eq.com/cgi-bin/rt.cgi?limit=4_3%2F2_9%2F7&ets=q17_q27&tuning=po&subgroup=on regular temperament finder link]). The name is derived from „tetratave Archytas”, as it's the double octave interpretation of 7-limit Archytas. This scale tempers [[64/63|Archytas' comma]] (64/63), as [[3/2]] stacked twice approximates 16/7, stacked thrice, it approximates 24/7, and stacked 4 times: 36/7, which is 9/7 above the tetratave.
 
=== Tetrarchy ===
Tetrarchy is a [[Domain basis #Canonical form|noncanonical form]] of quarchy.
 
* [[Subgroup]]: 4.3/2.9/7
* [[Comma list]]: [[64/63]]
* {{Mapping|legend=1|1 0 -1|0 1 4}}
* [[Support|Supporting]] ETs: [[17ed4|17]], 27
* [[POTE tuning]]: ~[[3/2]] = 709.3213
 
 
The Nelindic temperament is described in it's own article on [[Nelinda]].
