A non-over-1 temperament is a regular temperament that tempers a subgroup corresponding to a harmonic series chord r:n1:...:nk where r ≠ 1, but is not meant to approximate a chord of the form 1:m1:...:mk. Assuming octave equivalence, this means a subgroup of the form 2.m1/f.[...].mr/f, where f:m1:...:mr is a JI chord none of whose notes is a power of 2.

Non-over-1 temperaments give regular-temperament interpretations to edos that approximate over-1 chords (assuming octave equivalence) such as 4:5:6:7:11 poorly, such as 14edo, 18edo, 23edo and 29edo, thus may have much xenharmonic potential. Many of these temperaments have an octatonic structure, as 8edo represents non-over-1 intervals well for its size as far as the 17-limit.

Examples

Greeley

Greeley is the 23&31 temperament on the 2.5/3.7/3.11/3 subgroup, with a MOS generator size close to porcupine but smaller (the POL2 generator is around 155.7756¢).

  • One generator represents 12/11 and 11/10.
  • Two generators represents 6/5.
  • Four generators represents 10/7.
  • Six generators represents 12/7.

Petrtri

Define petrtri as the 2.9/5.11/5.13/5 subgroup temperament supported by 13edo and 21edo. Then petrtri mainly approximates 5:9:11:13, and this chord is found twice in the oneirotonic MOS petrtri[8]. Both 13edo and 21edo support the -7 generators = 5/4 mapping, so petrtri extends to the 2.5.9.11.13 subgroup; however, a 4:5:9:11:13 chord must span 10 generators (11 notes) thus must go outside the 8-note MOS. Thus it is fair to say that approximations of 5:9:11:13 in the 8-note MOS use this non-over-1 temperament.

Sensi

Sensi is effectively a non-over-1 temperament provided you restrict yourself to the sensi[8] MOS. The sensi[8] MOS only has a 5:6:7:9:13 chord, but no chord of the form 2n:m1:...:mk (except 2:3). Thus sensi can be viewed as a 2.6/5.7/5.9/5.13/10 or 2.3.6/5.7/5.13/10 temperament. (See x31eq data page.)

Tridec

Tridec is a temperament generated by a generator near 455.2178¢ (for example, 11\29 or 14\37) and has an 8-note MOS. If you restrict to the 8-note MOS, Tridec is an 2.7/5.11/5.13/5 temperament that tempers the chord 5:7:11:13; one generator represents a 13/10, three generators represent a 11/10, -4 generators represent a 7/5.

Tridec essentially contains all the notes of 2.3.5 porcupine temperament and satisfies all its relations; hence it is essentially the same as 13-limit Ammonite.
