- 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.
A 7th-octave temperament can be described by temperament merging of edos whose greatest common divisor is 7. The most notable 7th-octave family is the whitewood family – tempering out 2187/2048 and associating 4\7 to 3/2.
A comma that frequently appears in 7th-octave temps is akjaysma, which sets 105/64 to be equal to 5\7.
Temperaments discussed elsewhere include:
- Septant → Schismatic family
- Brahmagupta → Ragismic microtemperaments
- Absurdity → Porwell temperaments
Nitrogen
Nitrogen may be described as the 140 & 1407 temperament in the 7-limit. It was named after the 7th element for having a 7th-octave period and also because 140 and 1407 only contain numbers 7 and 14, atomic number and atomic weight of nitrogen respectively. On top of this connection to the number 7, it also reaches the 7th harmonic 7 generators down.
