A '''substitute harmonic'''{{idiosyncratic}} is a more complex [[harmonic]] which is used to substitute for a simpler one.  
A '''substitute harmonic'''{{idiosyncratic}} is a more complex [[harmonic]] which is used to substitute for a simpler one.  


Line 4: Line 6:


You could also substitute a simpler harmonic ''n'' in a dual-n temperament for two more complex harmonics, to make a '''dual-substitute-n temperament'''{{idiosyncratic}}. For example, you could convert a [[Dual-fifth temperaments|2.3-.3+.5 subgroup temperament]] into a 2.5.767.769 subgroup temperament.

For example, you could convert a [[Dual-fifth temperaments|2.3-.3+.5 subgroup temperament]] into a 2.5.767.769 subgroup temperament.
The use of substitute harmonics is one kind of [[fudging]].

==== Narrowed Compton ====
 
These temperaments are like [[compton]] but with a smaller generator. They reduce the incidence of [[wolf]] fifths, especially in the smaller 24- and 36-tone [[MOS scale]]s, and allow the melodic shape of [[compton]] to be used in tunings (especially [[edo]]s that might not otherwise support it.

These temperaments work by replacing the 5th harmonic with a slightly sharper substitute harmonic. These temperaments do not follow the naming conventions of other sharp-substitute temperaments. Instead these should be named using words that end with “com” or “come”.
