m TallKite moved page Genchain mode numbering to Kite's Genchain mode numbering: Editor VectorGraphics has repeatedly edited pages I've written about my own research and inserted misinformation. On discord he is openly hostile to me. This move is necessary to avoid a toxic work environment for me.

In this context, when no specific temperament is named, the choice of generator follows slightly different rules. Prioritizing 3/2 over 4/3 doesn't make any sense, because the generator doesn't have an actual ratio. So the generator is always chosen to be as small as possible, i.e. less than half of a period. Thus while Meantone[7]'s generator is 3/2, i.e. a 5th, 5L 2s's generator is in the 480-514¢ range, i.e. a 4th.
For a MOS pattern with a fifth-sized generator, the fifth is still prioritized over the fourth. Otherwise the generator is the mingen.
