Marvel–syntonic equivalence continuum: Difference between revisions

The '''marvel-syntonic equivalence continuum''' is a continuum of 7-limit rank-3 temperament families which equate a number of [[225/224|marvel commas (225/224)]] with a [[81/80|syntonic comma (81/80)]]. This continuum is theoretically interesting in that these are all 7-limit rank-3 temperament families supported by [[septimal meantone]] temperament.

All temperaments in the continuum satisfy (81/80)<sup>''n''</sup> ~ 64/63. Varying ''n'' results in different temperament families listed in the table below. It converges to [[~~marvel family|~~marvel]] as ''n'' approaches infinity. If we allow non-integer and infinite ''n'', the continuum describes the set of all [[7-limit]] temperament families supported by septimal meantone (due to it being the unique rank-2 temperament that tempers both commas and thus tempers all combinations of them). The just value of ''n'' is approximately 2.~~788851128489581...~~, and temperaments having ''n'' near this value will be more accurate.
