'''Würschmidt''' is a [[rank-2 temperament|rank-2]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] and parent of the [[würschmidt family]], characterized by tempering out the [[würschmidt comma]] ([[ratio]]: 393216/390625, {{monzo|legend=1| 17 1 -8 }}). It can be treated as analogous to [[schismic]] with the roles of the primes 3 and 5 reversed, since würschmidt is [[generator|generated]] by a [[5/4|classical major third (5/4)]], very slightly sharpened so that eight of them make the sixth harmonic ([[6/1]]), giving [[3/2]] the same complexity [[5/4]] does in schismic, but with comparable accuracy on the part of the generator. Four generators, therefore, reach the interval [[625/512]], which is equated to [[768/625]] and functions as a neutral third. | |||

Another useful interpretation of the würschmidt comma is that it makes the interval of [[25/24]] equal to two-thirds the size of [[16/15]]. This can be exploited, as 16/15 factorizes into near-2:1 parts as {{nowrap|([[24/23]]) × ([[46/45]])}}, and therefore it is illogical ''not'' to set 25/24 equal to 24/23 (and [[128/125]] equal to 46/45) as well and set the remainder, 46/45, equal to a third of 16/15, by tempering {{nowrap|S24 {{=}} [[576/575]]}} and {{nowrap|S46<sup>2</sup> × S47 {{=}} [[12167/12150]]}} in the 2.3.5.23 [[subgroup]]. 14 generators turn out to stack to [[23/1]], and notably, 6/1 stacked 7 times and 23/1 stacked four times (at 56 generators) differ only by the 0.59-cent comma [[279936/279841]] = {{nowrap|[[2401/2400|S49]] / ([[25921/25920|S161]]<sup>2</sup>)}}. | Another useful interpretation of the würschmidt comma is that it makes the interval of [[25/24]] equal to two-thirds the size of [[16/15]].

A perhaps more direct way of seeing why equating 25/24 with 24/23 is natural is that würschmidt's generator is a slightly sharpened 5/4 with a slightly flat 3/2 in an optimised tuning, so that 25/24 is sharpened and 24/n is flattened, so equating it with 24/23 takes advantage of the natural tempering tendency. 14 generators turn out to stack to [[23/1]], and notably, 6/1 stacked 7 times and 23/1 stacked four times (at 56 generators) differ only by the 0.59-cent comma [[279936/279841]] = {{nowrap|[[2401/2400|S49]] / ([[25921/25920|S161]]<sup>2</sup>)}}. | ||

In fact, the best septimal extension may be the weak extension [[hemiwürschmidt]], which splits the ~5/4 generator into two ~[[28/25]]'s by tempering out [[3136/3125]] alongside [[6144/6125]] (notably, in the 2.3.5.7.23 subgroup, this is the extension that tempers out the tiny comma {{nowrap|S161 {{=}} [[25921/25920]]}}). | Strong extensions to the [[7-limit]] include [[würschmidt family#septimal würschmidt|septimal würschmidt]] (tempering out [[225/224]], finding 7 at +18 generator steps), [[worschmidt]] (tempering out [[126/125]], finding 7 at -13 generator steps), and [[whirrschmidt]] (tempering out [[4375/4374]], finding 7 at +52 generator steps), but these are either considerably higher-damage or much higher-complexity than 5-limit würschmidt.

Würschmidt is a rank-2 temperament and parent of the würschmidt family, characterized by tempering out the würschmidt comma (ratio: 393216/390625, monzo: [17 1 -8⟩). It can be treated as analogous to schismic with the roles of the primes 3 and 5 reversed, since würschmidt is generated by a classical major third (5/4), very slightly sharpened so that eight of them make the sixth harmonic (6/1), giving 3/2 the same complexity 5/4 does in schismic, but with comparable accuracy on the part of the generator. Four generators, therefore, reach the interval 625/512, which is equated to 768/625 and functions as a neutral third.
For technical data, see Würschmidt family #Würschmidt.
Extensions
Another useful interpretation of the würschmidt comma is that it makes the interval of 25/24 equal to two-thirds the size of 16/15. This can be exploited, as 16/15 factorizes into near-2:1 parts as (24/23) × (46/45), and therefore it is illogical not to set 25/24 equal to 24/23 (and 128/125 equal to 46/45) as well and set the remainder, 46/45, equal to a third of 16/15, by tempering S24 = 576/575 and S462 × S47 = 12167/12150 in the 2.3.5.23 subgroup. A perhaps more direct way of seeing why equating 25/24 with 24/23 is natural is that würschmidt's generator is a slightly sharpened 5/4 with a slightly flat 3/2 in an optimised tuning, so that 25/24 is sharpened and 24/n is flattened, so equating it with 24/23 takes advantage of the natural tempering tendency. 14 generators turn out to stack to 23/1, and notably, 6/1 stacked 7 times and 23/1 stacked four times (at 56 generators) differ only by the 0.59-cent comma 279936/279841 = S49 / (S1612).
Strong extensions to the 7-limit include septimal würschmidt (tempering out 225/224, finding 7 at +18 generator steps), worschmidt (tempering out 126/125, finding 7 at -13 generator steps), and whirrschmidt (tempering out 4375/4374, finding 7 at +52 generator steps), but these are either considerably higher-damage or much higher-complexity than 5-limit würschmidt. In fact, the best septimal extension may be the weak extension hemiwürschmidt, which splits the ~5/4 generator into two ~28/25's by tempering out 3136/3125 alongside 6144/6125 and 2401/2400 (notably, in the 2.3.5.7.23 subgroup, this is the extension that tempers out the tiny comma S161 = 25921/25920).
Therefore, it may be advisable to consider würschmidt a no-sevens system, specifically in the 2.3.5.11 subgroup, where an extension that equates 128/125 with 45/44 and therefore 625/512 with 11/9 (by tempering out 243/242 and 5632/5625), finding the 11th harmonic at 20 generators up, is highly natural in addition to the aforementioned extension to prime 23.
