== Bidia ==

Slicing the period into quarters produces the [[Bidia]] mapping, which keeps octaves closer to horizontal and makes the well-tuned 19th harmonic easily accessible. The (rightward) generator 7\80 is the Bidia generator which functions as ~[[16/15]], ~[[17/16]], and ~[[18/17]]; two of these make a somewhat sharp ~[[9/8]]; if allowed to pass the quarter-octave, three of these make a near-just classic minor third ~[[6/5]]; and four of them make a slightly sharp [[14/11]]. [[Bryan Deister]] has demonstrated this mapping (except shifted to put the first note 0 where the first note 6 is shown here, to avoid a missed first note 3) in [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/H6DlCHKii-o ''microtonal improvisation in 80edo''] (2025). The range is about 2¾ octaves, and the octaves slope down very gently.

== Supermajor ==

The [[3L 8s]] [[Ragismic_microtemperaments#Supermajor|Supermajor]] mapping covers the gamut with slightly greater range while keeping octaves near horizontal, but many of the other harmonics involve awkward vertical stretches.
