Below are listed some '''very low accuracy temperaments'''. Temperaments with exceedingly low accuracy such as these tend to [[tempering out|temper out]] very large intervals such as [[9/8]], [[10/9]], [[32/27]], or [[15/14]], equating wildly different interval sizes with [[semitone (interval size measure)|semitone]]-level or even greater [[error]]s. A lot of temperaments listed here don't have [[diamond monotone]] tunings because of their sheer inaccuracy. As a result, all of them are right on or even beyond the edge of what can be sensibly called a temperament at all; that is to say, they are [[exotemperament]]s.

Quint preserves the 5-limit mapping of 5edo, and harmonic 7 is mapped to an independent generator.

It would make much more sense to, for example, preserve the 2.3.7-subgroup structure of 5edo and give prime 5 an independent generator instead, which is exactly what [[blackwood]] does.

This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

Below are listed some very low accuracy temperaments. Temperaments with exceedingly low accuracy such as these tend to temper out very large intervals such as 9/8, 10/9, 32/27, or 15/14, equating wildly different interval sizes with semitone-level or even greater errors, and often swapping the sizes of simple ratios compared to just intonation. As a result, all of them are right on or even beyond the edge of what can be sensibly called a temperament at all; that is to say, they are exotemperaments.

Antitonic

This temperament is characterized by 9/8 being tempered out and has been termed a "troll temperament" by its namers. Its ploidacot is diploid acot. It is named on account of 4/3 and 3/2 both being represented by the 600-cent half octave, which, in terms of diatonic function, serves as an antitonic. The 7-limit extension tempers out 15/14 and 21/20, equating 5/4 with 7/6 and 6/5 with 8/7. The 11-limit extension tempers out 12/11 and 33/32. The original 5-limit is basically the 3-limit music of 2edo with the addition of harmonic 5 represented by an independent generator.

Alteraugment

Alteraugment tempers out the Pythagorean minor third (32/27). It is like augmented, but the period represents 4/3 instead of 5/4, and the generator in turn provides 5/4 instead of 3/2. Its ploidacot is triploid acot. Vector Graphics suggests the name kinsborough for this temperament.

Quint

Quint preserves the 5-limit mapping of 5edo, and harmonic 7 is mapped to an independent generator. As harmonic 7 is way more accurately approximated than 5 by 5edo, this temperament provides little improvement to 5edo's 7-limit tuning, so in what way this temperament is useful remains unexplained. It would make much more sense to, for example, preserve the 2.3.7-subgroup structure of 5edo and give prime 5 an independent generator instead, which is exactly what blackwood does.

Codex

See also: Bug family

Codex was named by Jerdle as an abbreviation of "co-decimal", as it resembles decimal in many ways, but exchanges the roles of 5's and 7's. While decimal equates 8/7 and 7/6, as well as 6/5 and 5/4, this equates 10/9 and 6/5, as well as 7/6 and 9/7. It is an extension of bug and mujannabic in the same way decimal is of semaphore and dicot. Its ploidacot is diploid dicot.

Oxygen extends porcupine into the 7-limit by conflating 6/5 with 8/7. While this means it does not represent either of those intervals with any real accuracy, it is still of interest because its comma basis suggests potential utility to construct Fokker blocks.
