'''Pajara''' (pronounced /pəˈd͡ʒɑːrə/, with the J as in "jar") is a [[regular temperament|temperament]] with a half-octave [[period]] that represents both [[7/5]] and [[10/7]], so [[50/49]] is [[tempering out|tempered out]] and it is in the [[jubilismic clan]]. The [[generator]] is a [[3/2|perfect fifth]] in the neighborhood of 707–711 [[cent]]s, or that minus a half-octave period, which is a semitone representing [[15/14]] and [[16/15]]. One period minus 2 such semitones is [[~]][[5/4]], which, if you work it out, implies that [[2048/2025]] is tempered out, so pajara is also in the [[diaschismic family]]. In fact, it shares the same structure as 5-limit [[diaschismic]]. Finally, two 4/3's (or an octave minus two semitones) represents 7/4 as well as 16/9, so [[64/63]] is tempered out and pajara is in the [[archytas clan]]. Tempering out any two of these commas (among others) produces the unique temperament pajara. | '''Pajara''' (pronounced /pəˈd͡ʒɑːrə/, with the J as in "jar") is a [[regular temperament|temperament]] with a half-octave [[period]] that represents both [[7/5]] and [[10/7]], so [[50/49]] is [[tempering out|tempered out]] and it is in the [[jubilismic clan]].

Pajara has fairly low accuracy overall, due to the ~5/4 and ~7/4 necessarily being separated by 600 cents via vanishing of [[50/49]]. However, if one accepts the accuracy of [[12edo]] in the 5-limit, they would probably accept the accuracy of pajara as well. The vanishing of [[50/49]] means that [[49/48]] and [[25/24]] are tempered to the same interval, and allows for a simple alteration to produce the subharmonic sixth chord [[70:84:105:120|1/(12:10:8:7)]] with 6/5 and 12/7 by flattening the third and seventh the same amount from the harmonic seventh chord, [[4:5:6:7]]. | Pajara has fairly low accuracy overall, due to the ~5/4 and ~7/4 necessarily being separated by 600 cents via vanishing of [[50/49]].

Pajara has [[mos scale]]s of 10, 12, and 22 notes. The 10-note mos, Pajara[10], is notable for sharing a number of desirable properties with [[5L 2s|diatonic]], while having fundamentally different categories; for example, the ~7/4 is a now major 8-step, rather than a minor 6-step. This mos and the LsssLsssss [[modmos]] are called the ''symmetric'' and ''pentachordal'' decatonic scales and were independently invented/discovered by [[Paul Erlich]] and [[Gene Ward Smith]]. They are often thought of as subsets of [[22edo]], without much loss of generality and accuracy. | Pajara has [[mos scale]]s of 10, 12, and 22 notes.

As does all diaschismic temperaments, pajara has a natural extension to prime [[17/1|17]], obtained by tempering out [[136/135]], [[256/255]], and [[289/288]]. This extension notably also tempers out [[120/119]], which equates the 1/(12:10:8:7) utonal tetrad with the otonal [[10:12:15:17]]. | As does all diaschismic temperaments, pajara has a natural extension to prime [[17/1|17]], obtained by tempering out [[136/135]], [[256/255]], and [[289/288]].

In pajara, a decatonic system of interval classification based on the [[2L 8s]] (jaric) [[mos scale]] is preferred over the [[diatonic]] interval classification system traditionally used in western music, which is used in [[meantone]]. If we count scale degrees similarly to diatonic, then [[2/1]] is a "hendecave" (11ve), as there are 10 scale degrees, and we repeat at 2/1 at the 11th. In this system, [[3/2]] is a perfect 7th, and [[4/3]] is a perfect 5th. The intervals [[5/4]] and [[6/5]] are major and minor decatonic 4ths respectively, rather than being major and minor 3rds by diatonic interval classification in meantone. Importantly, [[7/4]] is now a major decatonic 9th, with [[12/7]] being its minor counterpart. This is in contrast to diatonic, where 7/4 is considered a subminor 7th, and 12/7 a supermajor 6th. | |||
By decatonic interval classification, the [[4:5:6:7]] tetrad is written as P1–M4–P7–M9. It can be considered the ''major tetrad'', since the non-perfect intervals, those being the decatonic 4th and 9th, are both major intervals. If we instead use a minor interval for the 4th and 9th; that is, a P1–m4–P7–m9 chord, then we get a tetrad approximating [[70:84:105:120|1/(12:10:8:7)]], which can be considered the ''minor tetrad''. | |||

The true mos is called the ''symmetric'' decatonic scale, because it repeats exactly at the half-octave, so the symmetric scale starting from 7/5~10/7 is the same as the symmetric scale starting from 1/1. The near-mos, LsssLsssss, in which only the 5-step interval violates the rule of no more than 2 intervals per class, is called the ''pentachordal'' decatonic, because it consists of two identical [[pentachord]]s plus a split 9/8~8/7 whole tone to complete the octave. | The true mos is called the ''symmetric'' decatonic scale, because it repeats exactly at the half-octave, so the symmetric scale starting from {{nowrap|7/5~10/7}} is the same as the symmetric scale starting from 1/1.

Unlike tunings of archy which the fifth is around 710–712{{c}}, however, pajara is conventionally tuned flat of 22edo, since tunings sharp of about 710{{c}} lose a large degree of accuracy in 5/4 and especially 6/5. | ||
