Diminished family: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

The '''dimipent family''' tempers out the major diesis ~~aka~~ diminished comma, [[648/625]], the amount by which four [[6/5]] minor thirds exceed an [[octave]], and so identifies the minor third with the quarter-octave. Hence it has the same 300-cent 6/5-approximations as [[12edo]].

== Dimipent ==

The [[generator]] of dimipent can be taken as a fifth or a semitone, and 12edo, with its excellent fifth, is an obvious tuning, though a flatter fifth might be preferred to go with the flat minor third. Its [[ploidacot]] is tetraploid monocot.

=== Cohedim ===

This ~~temperament~~ has been documented in Graham Breed's temperament finder as ''hemidim'', the same name as [[~~Dimipent family~~ #Hemidim|11-limit 4e &~~amp;~~ 24 and 13-limit 4ef &~~amp;~~ 24]]. For 11-limit 8bce & 12 temperament, ''cohedim'' arguably makes more sense.

This extension has been documented in Graham Breed's temperament finder as ''hemidim'', the same name as [[#Hemidim|11-limit 4e & 24 and 13-limit 4ef & 24]]. For the 11-limit 8bce & 12 temperament, ''cohedim'' arguably makes more sense. Its ploidacot is tetraploid alpha-dicot.

It was formerly known as "semidim" but renamed to avoid confusion with another temperament of the same name.

Octonion tempers out 245/243, and may be described as the {{nowrap| 8d & 24 }} temperament. Its ploidacot is octoploid monocot.
