Meantone family: Difference between revisions

In septimal meantone, ten fifths get to the interval class for 7, so that [[7/4]] is an augmented sixth (C–A♯), [[7/6]] is an augmented second (C–D♯), [[7/5]] is an augmented fourth (C–F♯), and [[21/16]] is an augmented third (C–E♯). Septimal meantone tempers out the common 7-limit commas [[126/125]], [[225/224]], and [[3136/3125]] and in fact can be defined as the 7-limit temperament that tempers out any two of 81/80, 126/125 and 225/224.

This extension is perhaps the most practical, as it maps 17/16 to the minor second (C–D♭), and 19/16 to the minor third (C–E♭), suitable for a system generated by a mildly tempered fifth.

=== 13-limit ===

Mildtone tempers out 16128/15625 and finds the interval class of 7 at 22 generators up, as a triple-augmented fifth (C–G#x). [[55edo]] and [[67edo]] are among the possible tunings.  

Mohajira can be viewed as derived from mohaha which maps the interval half a [[chromatic semitone|chroma]] flat of the minor seventh to ~7/4 so that 7/4 is mapped to a semidiminished seventh (C–Bdb), although mohajira really makes more sense as an 11-limit temperament. It tempers out 6144/6125, the [[porwell comma]]. It can be described as {{nowrap| 24 & 31 }}; its ploidacot is dicot. [[31edo]] makes for an excellent mohajira tuning, with generator 9\31.
