The '''meantone family''' is the family of [[rank-2 temperament]]s that [[tempering out|temper out]] the syntonic comma, [[81/80]], and thus can all be seen as [[extension]]s of [[meantone]].  
The [[5-limit]] parent [[Comma|comma]] of the [[meantone]] family is the Didymus or [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntonic_comma|syntonic comma]], 81/80. This is the one they all temper out. The [[Monzos and Interval Space|monzo]] for 81/80 goes |-4 4 -1&gt;, and that can be flipped around to the corresponding [[Wedgies and Multivals|wedgie]], &lt;&lt;1 4 4||, which tells us that the period is an octave, the generator is a fifth, and four fifths go to make up a 5/1 interval.

Meantone is characterized by an [[octave]] [[period]], a [[3/2|fifth]] [[generator]], and the relationship that four fifths go to make up a [[5/1|5th harmonic]].

==Seven limit children==
[[Subgroup]]: 2.3.5
The [[7-limit]] children of 81/80 are septimal meantone, with normal comma list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |-13 10 0 -1&gt;], flattone, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |-17 9 0 1&gt;], dominant, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |6 -2 0 -1&gt;], sharptone, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |2 -3 0 1&gt;], injera, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |-7 8 0 -2&gt;], mohajira, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |-23 11 0 2&gt;], godzilla, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |-4 -1 0 2&gt;], mothra, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |-10 1 0 3&gt;], squares, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |-3 9 0 -4&gt;], and liese, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |-9 11 0 -3&gt;].


=Septimal meantone=
[[Comma list]]: 81/80
The comma |-13 10 0 -1&gt; for septimal meantone tells us that the interval class for 7 is 10 generator steps up. Hence, the [[7_4|7/4]] of septimal meantone is the augmented sixth, C-A#, and other septimal intervals are 7/6, C-D#, the augmented second, and [[7_5|7/5]], C-F#, the tritone. The [[Wedgies and Multivals|wedgie]] for septimal meantone is &lt;&lt;1 4 10 4 13 12||, again telling us how to get to 5 and 7 in terms of generator steps. The temperament, aside from what is on the normal list, tempers out 126/125 and 225/224, and [[31edo]] is a good tuning for it.

=== Overview to extensions ===
The second comma of the normal comma list defines which [[7-limit]] family member we are looking at.
* Flattertone adds {{monzo| -24 17 0 -1 }}, finding the [[~]][[7/4]] at the double-augmented sixth, for a tuning between 33edo and 26edo.
* Flattone adds {{monzo| -17 9 0 1 }}, finding the ~7/4 at the diminished seventh, for a tuning between 26edo and 19edo.
* Septimal meantone adds [[Harrison's comma|{{monzo| -13 10 0 -1 }}]], finding the ~7/4 at the augmented sixth, for a tuning between 19edo and 12edo.
* Dominant adds [[64/63|{{monzo| 6 -2 0 -1 }}]], finding the ~7/4 at the minor seventh, for a tuning between 12edo and 5edo.
* Sharptone adds [[28/27|{{monzo| 2 -3 0 1 }}]], finding the ~7/4 at the major sixth, for an [[exotemperament]] never exactly well-tuned, and where 5edo is the only [[diamond monotone]] tuning, with a terrible 5-limit part.
Those all have a fifth as generator.
* Injera adds {{monzo| -7 8 0 -2 }} with a half-octave period.
* Mohajira adds {{monzo| -23 11 0 2 }} and splits the fifth in two.
* Godzilla adds [[49/48|{{monzo| -4 -1 0 2 }}]] with an ~[[8/7]] generator, two of which give the [[4/3|fourth]].
* Mothra adds [[1029/1024|{{monzo| -10 1 0 3 }}]] with an ~8/7 generator, three of which give the fifth.
* Liese adds {{monzo| -9 11 0 -3 }} with a ~[[10/7]] generator, three of which give the [[3/1|twelfth]].
* Squares adds {{monzo| -3 9 0 -4 }} with a ~[[9/7]] generator, four of which give the [[8/3|eleventh]].
* Jerome adds {{monzo| 3 7 0 -5 }} and slices the fifth in five.


[[Algebraic generator]]: Traverse, the positive real root of x^4+2x-13, or 696.9529 cents.
==== Strong extensions ====
For any meantone generator tuning between 7\12 and 11\19, the augmented sixth is sharper than the diminished seventh and flatter than the minor seventh, befitting an approximation to interval class of 7. This coincides with interpreting the tritone (~9/8)<sup>3</sup> as [[7/5]], leading to septimal meantone, a very elegant extension to the 7-limit.  


[[Map]]: [&lt;1 0 -4 -13 -25|, &lt;0 1 4 10 18|]
For any tuning flatter than 11\19, the augmented sixth and diminished seventh swap their orders, so the diminished seventh becomes a better approximation to the interval class of 7, resulting in flattone. Likewise, for any tuning sharper than 7\12, the minor seventh is the proper approximation instead, resulting in dominant.

===Tridecimal meantone===
Another way to extend meantone to higher limits involves decomposing the meantone comma into products of smaller commas, or expressing some other comma of interest in terms of the ratio between the meantone comma and another comma. However, this often results in [[weak extension]]s. Another opportunity given by the meantone fifth being flat is that the most obvious ways of dividing it into ''n'' parts leave the part closer to just than usual, because we can allow – and indeed want – more flatwards tempering on the fifth, so may be recommended for this reason.

[[POTE tuning|POTE generator]]: ~3/2 = 696.642
==== Splitting the meantone fifth into two (243/242) ====
By tempering out [[243/242]] we equate the distance from 9/8 to 10/9 (= [[81/80|S9]]) with the distance between 11/10 to 12/11 (= [[121/120|S11]]), leading to [[mohaha]] which is in some sense thus a trivial tuning of [[rastmic]] (as 81/80 and 121/120 vanish), but an important one, as it leads to the 11/9 being a more in-tune "hemififth" than in non-meantone [[rastmic]] temperaments (which require sharper fifths in good tunings), and it has a natural extension to the full [[11-limit]] by finding [[7/4]] as the semi-diminished seventh, leading to [[mohajira]], which inflates [[64/63]] to equate it with a small quarter-tone, which is characteristic. Mohajira can also be thought of as equating a slightly sharpened [[25/16|(5/4)<sup>2</sup>]] with [[11/7]], which is also natural as meantone tempering usually has [[5/4]] slightly sharp. There is also the consideration that tempering out [[121/120]] leads to similarly high damage in the 11-limit as tempering [[81/80]] in the 5-limit, because both erase key distinctions of their respective JI subgroups.


Map: [&lt;1 0 -4 -13 -25 -20|, &lt;0 1 4 10 18 15|]
==== Splitting the meantone fifth into three (1029/1024) ====
EDOs: [[12edo|12]], [[19edo|19]], [[31edo|31]], [[267edo|267]], [[298edo|298]]
By tempering out [[1029/1024]] we equate the distance from 7/6 to 8/7 (= [[49/48|S7]]) with the distance from 8/7 to 9/8 (= [[64/63|S8]]), so that ([[8/7]])<sup>3</sup> is equated with [[3/2]], because of being able to be rewritten as (9/8)(8/7)(7/6) – this observation can be generalized to define the family of [[ultraparticular]] commas. This is an unusually natural extension, with a surprising coincidence: ([[36/35]])/([[64/63]]) = [[81/80]], or using the shorthand notation, S6/S8 = S9. As S6/S8 is already tempered out, it is natural to want [[49/48]] (S7), which is bigger than S8 and smaller than S6 to be equated with both, to avoid inconsistent mappings. This has the surprising consequence of meaning that splitting the meantone fifth into three 8/7's is equivalent to splitting 8/5 into three 7/6's by tempering (8/5)/(7/6)<sup>3</sup> = [[1728/1715]] (S6/S7), the orwellisma.
[[Badness]]: 0.0180


===Grosstone===
This strategy leads to the 7-limit version of [[mothra]], which is also sometimes called '''cynder'''. Though undecimal mothra is the simplest extension by a small margin, when measured in terms of generators required to reach 11, there is another extension that is perhaps more obvious, by noticing that because we have S6~S7~S8 with S9 tempered out, we can try S8~S10 by tempering out [[176/175]] (S8/S10), which is (11/7)/(5/4)<sup>2</sup>, taking advantage of 10/9 being tempered sharp in meantone so that we can distinguish 11/10 from it, thus finding 16/11 at 100/99 above the meantone diminished fifth, ([[6/5]])<sup>2</sup> = [[36/25]] = ([[3/2]])/([[25/24]]).

POTE generator: ~3/2 = 697.264
==== 31edo as splitting the fifth into two, three and nine ====
[[31edo]] is unique as combining all aforementioned tempering strategies into one elegant [[11-limit]] meantone temperament; it also combines yet more extensions of meantone not discussed here, and it has a very accurate [[5/4]] and [[7/4]] and an even more accurate [[35/32]]. A tempering strategy not mentioned is splitting a flattened [[3/2]] into nine sharpened [[25/24]]'s, resulting in the 5-limit version of [[valentine]] so that 31edo is the unique tuning that combines them. Furthermore, splitting the meantone fifth into two and three in the ways described above leads to meantone + miracle without tempering out [[225/224]], which interestingly, though a rank-2 temperament, only has 31edo as a [[patent val]] tuning (corresponding to also tempering out 225/224).

[[POTE tuning|POTE generator]]: 696.434
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♯). This mapping is rationalized by the fact that 81/80 factors as ([[126/125]])⋅([[225/224]]), and septimal meantone tempers out both of these commas as well as their difference, [[3136/3125]]. In fact it can be defined as the 7-limit temperament that tempers out any two of 81/80, 126/125, 225/224, and 3136/3125.

Other intervals are [[7_6|7/6]], a diminished minor third, and [[7_5|7/5]], a doubly diminshed fifth. Good tunings for flattone are [[26edo]], [[45edo]] and [[64edo]].

The wedgie for dominant is &lt;&lt;1 4 -2 4 -6 -16||. Now the interval class for 7 is obtained from two fourths in succession, so that 7/4 is a minor seventh. The 7/6 interval is, like 6/5, now a minor third, and 7/5 is a diminished fifth. An excellent tuning for dominant is [[12edo]], but it also works well with the Pythagorean tuning of pure [[3_2|3/2]] fifths, and with [[29edo]], [[41edo]], or [[53edo]].

==== Grosstone ====
[[Wedgie]]: &lt;&lt;1 4 -2 4 -6 -16||
Grosstone, named for tempering out the [[grossma]], is the main extension of interest that extends undecimal meantone to the 13-limit. It maps 13/8 to the double-diminished seventh (C–B♭♭♭). Note also that 11/10 is a double-augmented unison; 12/11~13/12 is a double-diminished third; and 14/13 is a triple-augmented seventh octave reduced. Grosstone is flexible with its tunings; among the good tunings are [[31edo]], [[43edo]], and [[74edo]].

Sharptone, with a wedgie &lt;&lt;1 4 3 4 2 -4||, is a low-accuracy temperament tempering out 21/20 and 28/27. In sharptone, a 7/4 is a major sixth, a 7/6 a whole tone, and a 7/5 a fourth. Genuinely septimal sounding harmony therefore cannot be expected, but it can be used to translate, more or less, 7-limit JI into 5-limit meantone. [[12edo]] tuning does sharptone about as well as such a thing can be done.

The wedgie for injera is &lt;&lt;2 8 8 8 7 -4||, which tells us it has a half-octave period and a generator which can be taken as a fifth or fourth, but also as a 15/14 semitone difference between a half-octave and a perfect fifth. Injera tempers out 50/49, equating 7/5 with 10/7 and giving a tritone of half an octave. A major third up from this tritone is the 7/4. [[38edo]], which is two parallel [[19edo]]s, is an excellent tuning for injera.
Tuning ranges:
* 13- and 15-odd-limit diamond monotone: ~3/2 = [696.774, 697.674] (18\31 to 25\43)

This extension 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.


Godzilla has wedgie &lt;&lt;2 8 1 8 -4 -20||, and tempers out 49/48, equating 8/7 with 7/6. Two of the step-and-a-quarter intervals these represent give a fourth, and so step-and-a-quarter generators generate godzilla. [[19edo]] is the perfect godzilla tuning, so much so that's there's not much point in looking elsewhere. Hence it can be more or less equated with taking 4\19 as a generator. MOS are of 5, 9, or 14 notes.

=Mohajira=
{{Optimal ET sequence|legend=0| 12, 31, 43, 74g }}
[[Comma]]s: 81/80, 6144/6125


Mohajira, with wedgie &lt;&lt;2 8 -11 8 -23 -48||, really makes more sense as an 11-limit temperament. It has a generator of a neutral third, two of which make up a fifth, and which can be taken to represent 128/105. Mohajira tempers out 6144/6125, the porwell comma. [[31edo]] makes for an excellent (7-limit) mohajira tuning, with generator 9/31. It has a 7-note MOS with three larger steps and four smaller ones, going sLsLsLs.
Badness (Sintel): 1.06


Mohajira can also be thought of, intuitively, as "meantone with quarter tones"; as is the 3/2 generator subdivided in half, so is the 25/24 chromatic semitone divided into two equal ~33/32 quarter tones (in the 11-limit). Within this paradigm, mohajira is the temperament that splits the 3/2 into two equal 11/9's, that splits the 6/5 into two equal 11/10's, that maps four 3/2's to 5/1, and that maps the interval one quarter tone flat of 16/9 to 7/4.

Fokkertone maps the [[13/8]] to the double-augmented fifth (C–G𝄪). Note that the minor third conflates 13/11 with 6/5, and that 11/10~13/12 is a double-augmented unison; 12/11 is a double-diminished third; and 14/13 is a minor second. 31edo can be recommended as a tuning since it is the only 13-odd-limit diamond monotone tuning.

Comma list: 66/65, 81/80, 99/98, 105/104
[[Comma]]s: 81/80, 36/35, 121/120


Maqamic temperament is a linear mimicry of maqam music within the regular mapping paradigm, much as pelogic temperament is a linear mimicry of the gamelan pelog scale. It is the temperament that you get if you take, at face value, the simplest harmonic mapping consistent with the scalar structure of the maqamat. It deliberately ignores the issue of whether or not those dyads are resolved by the auditory system as such when played melodically (as maqam music is generally a melodic art form), intending instead to serve as a vehicle for the adventurous microtonalist who wants to explore a harmonic context for maqam music.
Mapping: {{mapping| 1 0 -4 -13 -25 -20 | 0 1 4 10 18 15 }}


Melodically, it is a "linearized" version of the maqam modal system; it elevates the notion of "the diatonic scale with quartertones" out of the realm of 24-equal into a higher-dimensional rank 2 temperament. If the maqamat are taken to be rank 2, they all end up being MODMOS's of the proper 3L4s MOS. This MOS takes a neutral third as a generator, and the usual 5L2s diatonic scale is itself a MODMOS. The "quarter-tone" chroma in this setup is exactly half of the usual chromatic semitone from 5L2s (regardless of how it's intonated).
Optimal tunings:
* WE: ~2 = 1200.8149{{c}}, ~3/2 = 697.1155{{c}}
* CWE: ~2 = 1200.0000{{c}}, ~3/2 = 696.7085{{c}}


Harmonically, intervals in this temperament are mapped to reflect some of the intonational choices that actual arabic maqam musicians make when playing maqam music on a fretless instrument such as an oud. Sometimes notes that share the same notational representation are intoned very differently under different circumstances; for example, while the fourths are generally intoned very close to 4/3, it's common to adaptively intone the minor 7th closer to 7/4. When this happens, the two notes are said to share a tempered equivalence class, and the comma between the two versions of the note is said to vanish, no matter how large it is. Real-life intonational differences existing within these equivalence classes can then be viewed as a form of adaptive intonation within this temperament, paralleling how western string quartets will often intone their major chords to be as close to 4:5:6 as possible, despite that 81/80 vanishes over the larger structure of the music.
Minimax tuning:
* 13- and 15-odd-limit: ~3/2 = {{monzo| 9/16 -1/8 0 0 1/16 }}
: unchanged-interval (eigenmonzo) basis: 2.11/9


This temperament will hence appear less accurate than it really is, due to the fact that it approximates the performance of highly adaptive fretless instruments, and equivalence classes should be understood as reflecting a cognitive grouping of intervals rather than demanding any particular "middle of the road" intonational ideal. For fixed pitch instruments, 17-equal and 24-equal support this temperament about as well as can be done, but it should be noted that this temperament was designed particularly with adaptive intonation in mind.
{{Optimal ET sequence|legend=0| 12f, 19e, 31 }}


Like mohajira, maqamic tempers out 121/120 and 81/80; unlike it, it eliminates 36/35 (and hence 64/63) instead of 176/175. Harmonically, maqamic temperament maps two whole tones to 5/4, which is an intonational choice sometimes made by actual Arabic maqam performers, and which indicates that 81/80 vanishes. It also maps two fourths to 7/4, which is likewise an intonational choice often made by maqam performers, although they tend to do this adaptively rather than optimizing their 4/3's around this ideal. Finally, we find the simplest harmonic intervals approximating the neutral second and neutral third, which are 11/10 and 11/9. These, when doubled, yield 6/5 and 3/2, respectively, thus indicating that 121/120 and 243/242 vanish in this tuning.
Badness (Sintel): 0.746


Other attempts to mimic the structure of maqam music within the regular mapping paradigm may exist; this temperament is meant to be the simplest harmonic template possible that is consistent with the scalar structure of maqam music. For example, if one wanted to consider the two neutral thirds and neutral seconds as being different sizes, that would correspond to some sort of rank-3 temperament, and if one wanted to consider the 7/4 as being a "quarter tone" flat of 9/5 (where the quarter tone is the chroma for the 7-note MOS), that would correspond to Mohajira above.

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.

The meantone family is the family of rank-2 temperaments that temper out the syntonic comma, 81/80, and thus can all be seen as extensions of meantone.

Overview to extensions

The second comma of the normal comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at.

  • Flattertone adds [-24 17 0 -1⟩, finding the ~7/4 at the double-augmented sixth, for a tuning between 33edo and 26edo.
  • Flattone adds [-17 9 0 1⟩, finding the ~7/4 at the diminished seventh, for a tuning between 26edo and 19edo.
  • Septimal meantone adds [-13 10 0 -1⟩, finding the ~7/4 at the augmented sixth, for a tuning between 19edo and 12edo.
  • Dominant adds [6 -2 0 -1⟩, finding the ~7/4 at the minor seventh, for a tuning between 12edo and 5edo.
  • Sharptone adds [2 -3 0 1⟩, finding the ~7/4 at the major sixth, for an exotemperament never exactly well-tuned, and where 5edo is the only diamond monotone tuning, with a terrible 5-limit part.

Those all have a fifth as generator.

  • Injera adds [-7 8 0 -2⟩ with a half-octave period.
  • Mohajira adds [-23 11 0 2⟩ and splits the fifth in two.
  • Godzilla adds [-4 -1 0 2⟩ with an ~8/7 generator, two of which give the fourth.
  • Mothra adds [-10 1 0 3⟩ with an ~8/7 generator, three of which give the fifth.
  • Liese adds [-9 11 0 -3⟩ with a ~10/7 generator, three of which give the twelfth.
  • Squares adds [-3 9 0 -4⟩ with a ~9/7 generator, four of which give the eleventh.
  • Jerome adds [3 7 0 -5⟩ and slices the fifth in five.

Strong extensions

For any meantone generator tuning between 7\12 and 11\19, the augmented sixth is sharper than the diminished seventh and flatter than the minor seventh, befitting an approximation to interval class of 7. This coincides with interpreting the tritone (~9/8)3 as 7/5, leading to septimal meantone, a very elegant extension to the 7-limit.

For any tuning flatter than 11\19, the augmented sixth and diminished seventh swap their orders, so the diminished seventh becomes a better approximation to the interval class of 7, resulting in flattone. Likewise, for any tuning sharper than 7\12, the minor seventh is the proper approximation instead, resulting in dominant.

Another way to extend meantone to higher limits involves decomposing the meantone comma into products of smaller commas, or expressing some other comma of interest in terms of the ratio between the meantone comma and another comma. However, this often results in weak extensions. Another opportunity given by the meantone fifth being flat is that the most obvious ways of dividing it into n parts leave the part closer to just than usual, because we can allow – and indeed want – more flatwards tempering on the fifth, so may be recommended for this reason.

Splitting the meantone fifth into two (243/242)

By tempering out 243/242 we equate the distance from 9/8 to 10/9 (= S9) with the distance between 11/10 to 12/11 (= S11), leading to mohaha which is in some sense thus a trivial tuning of rastmic (as 81/80 and 121/120 vanish), but an important one, as it leads to the 11/9 being a more in-tune "hemififth" than in non-meantone rastmic temperaments (which require sharper fifths in good tunings), and it has a natural extension to the full 11-limit by finding 7/4 as the semi-diminished seventh, leading to mohajira, which inflates 64/63 to equate it with a small quarter-tone, which is characteristic. Mohajira can also be thought of as equating a slightly sharpened (5/4)2 with 11/7, which is also natural as meantone tempering usually has 5/4 slightly sharp. There is also the consideration that tempering out 121/120 leads to similarly high damage in the 11-limit as tempering 81/80 in the 5-limit, because both erase key distinctions of their respective JI subgroups.

Splitting the meantone fifth into three (1029/1024)

By tempering out 1029/1024 we equate the distance from 7/6 to 8/7 (= S7) with the distance from 8/7 to 9/8 (= S8), so that (8/7)3 is equated with 3/2, because of being able to be rewritten as (9/8)(8/7)(7/6) – this observation can be generalized to define the family of ultraparticular commas. This is an unusually natural extension, with a surprising coincidence: (36/35)/(64/63) = 81/80, or using the shorthand notation, S6/S8 = S9. As S6/S8 is already tempered out, it is natural to want 49/48 (S7), which is bigger than S8 and smaller than S6 to be equated with both, to avoid inconsistent mappings. This has the surprising consequence of meaning that splitting the meantone fifth into three 8/7's is equivalent to splitting 8/5 into three 7/6's by tempering (8/5)/(7/6)3 = 1728/1715 (S6/S7), the orwellisma.

This strategy leads to the 7-limit version of mothra, which is also sometimes called cynder. Though undecimal mothra is the simplest extension by a small margin, when measured in terms of generators required to reach 11, there is another extension that is perhaps more obvious, by noticing that because we have S6~S7~S8 with S9 tempered out, we can try S8~S10 by tempering out 176/175 (S8/S10), which is (11/7)/(5/4)2, taking advantage of 10/9 being tempered sharp in meantone so that we can distinguish 11/10 from it, thus finding 16/11 at 100/99 above the meantone diminished fifth, (6/5)2 = 36/25 = (3/2)/(25/24).

31edo as splitting the fifth into two, three and nine

31edo is unique as combining all aforementioned tempering strategies into one elegant 11-limit meantone temperament; it also combines yet more extensions of meantone not discussed here, and it has a very accurate 5/4 and 7/4 and an even more accurate 35/32. A tempering strategy not mentioned is splitting a flattened 3/2 into nine sharpened 25/24's, resulting in the 5-limit version of valentine so that 31edo is the unique tuning that combines them. Furthermore, splitting the meantone fifth into two and three in the ways described above leads to meantone + miracle without tempering out 225/224, which interestingly, though a rank-2 temperament, only has 31edo as a patent val tuning (corresponding to also tempering out 225/224).

Temperaments discussed elsewhere include

The rest are considered below.

Septimal meantone

Deutsch
Main article: Meantone § Septimal meantone
English Wikipedia has an article on:

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♯). This mapping is rationalized by the fact that 81/80 factors as (126/125)⋅(225/224), and septimal meantone tempers out both of these commas as well as their difference, 3136/3125. In fact it can be defined as the 7-limit temperament that tempers out any two of 81/80, 126/125, 225/224, and 3136/3125.

Grosstone

Grosstone, named for tempering out the grossma, is the main extension of interest that extends undecimal meantone to the 13-limit. It maps 13/8 to the double-diminished seventh (C–B♭♭♭). Note also that 11/10 is a double-augmented unison; 12/11~13/12 is a double-diminished third; and 14/13 is a triple-augmented seventh octave reduced. Grosstone is flexible with its tunings; among the good tunings are 31edo, 43edo, and 74edo.

Fokkertone

Fokkertone maps the 13/8 to the double-augmented fifth (C–G𝄪). Note that the minor third conflates 13/11 with 6/5, and that 11/10~13/12 is a double-augmented unison; 12/11 is a double-diminished third; and 14/13 is a minor second. 31edo can be recommended as a tuning since it is the only 13-odd-limit diamond monotone tuning.

This extension used to be known as tridecimal meantone, but was decanonicalized in 2025.

Flattone

Main article: Flattone

In flattone, 9 fourths get to the interval class for 7, so that 7/4 is a diminished seventh (C–B𝄫), 7/6 is a diminished third (C–E𝄫), and 7/5 is a double-diminished fifth (C–G𝄫). In general, septimal subminor intervals are diminished and septimal supermajor intervals are augmented, which makes it quite easy to learn flattone notation. The fifth in flattone is typically flatter than that of 19edo. Good tunings for flattone include 45edo, 64edo, and 71edo.

Dominant

Main article: Dominant (temperament)
See also: Archytas clan

The interval class for 7 is obtained from two fourths in succession, so that 7/4 is a minor seventh (C–Bb). The 7/6 interval is, like 6/5, now a minor third, and 7/5 is a diminished fifth. An excellent tuning for dominant is 12edo, but it also works well with the Pythagorean tuning of pure 3/2 fifths, and with 29edo, 41edo, or 53edo.

Because dominant entails a near-pure perfect fifth, a small number of generators will not land on an interval close to prime 11. The canonical 11-limit extension identifies 11/8 with the diminished fifth. Domination tempers out 77/75 and identifies 11/8 with the augmented third. Domineering identifies 11/8 with the augmented fourth, which is a very inaccurate mapping; it is however, notable for having the lowest badness among the extensions. Arnold tempers out 33/32 and identifies 11/8 with the perfect fourth. None of them are nearly as good as the weak extension neutrominant, splitting the fifth as well as the chromatic semitone in two like in all rastmic temperaments.

Flattertone

In flattertone, 17 fifths get to the interval class for 7, so that 7/4 is a double-augmented sixth (C–Ax). The fifth in flattertone is typically at least as flat as 26edo. Here, 26edo and 33cd-edo are the two primary flattertone tunings. 1/2-comma meantone is also encompassed within flattertone's range. Any flatter than this, the meantone mapping for 5/4 is too inaccurate (it becomes more of a 16/13 or 27/22), and deeptone temperament's mapping is more logical.

Flattertone was named by Flora Canou in 2024.

Sharptone

Sharptone is a low-accuracy temperament tempering out 21/20 and 28/27. In sharptone, 7/4 is a major sixth, 7/6 a whole tone, and 7/5 a fourth. Genuinely septimal sounding harmony therefore cannot be expected, but it can be used to translate, more or less, 7-limit JI into 5-limit meantone. 12edo tuning does sharptone about as well as such a thing can be done, of course not in its patent val.

However, while 12edo ends up near-optimal, the only valid diamond monotone tuning for sharptone is 5edo. Anything flat of it has ~12/7 and ~7/4 in the wrong order (and so should be dominant) and anything sharp of it has ~5/4 and ~4/3 in the wrong order (and so should not be meantone).

The 11-limit extension was named by Gene Ward Smith in 2004[3].

Mohajira

Main article: Mohajira

Mohajira can be viewed as derived from mohaha which maps the interval half a 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 24 & 31; its ploidacot is dicot. 31edo makes for an excellent mohajira tuning, with generator 9\31. Note that while 24 + 31 = 55edo doesn't apear in the optimal ET sequence, it is a patent val tuning and recommendable if you prefer a light meantone tempering.

Liese

Deutsch

Liese splits the perfect twelfth into three generators of ~10/7, using the comma 1029/1000. It also tempers out 686/675, the senga. It may be described as 17c & 19; its ploidacot is alpha-tricot. It is a very natural 13-limit tuning, given the generator is so near 13/9. 74edo makes for a good liese tuning, though 19edo can be used. The tuning is well-supplied with mos scales: 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 36, 55.

Superpine

See also: No-sevens subgroup temperaments § Superpine

The superpine temperament is generated by 1/3 of a fourth, represented by ~35/32, which resembles porcupine, but it favors flat fifths instead of sharp ones. It may be described as 36 & 43; its ploidacot is omega-tricot. Unlike in porcupine, the minor third reached by 2 generators up is strongly neutral-flavored and does not represent 6/5 – harmonics other than 3 all require the 15-tone mos (7L 8s) to properly utilize. This temperament has an obvious 11-limit interpretation by treating the generator as 11/10 as in porcupine, which makes 11/8 high-complexity like the other harmonics, but in the 13-limit 5 generators up closely approximates 13/8. 43edo is a good tuning especially for the higher-limit extensions.

Lithium

Squares

Main article: Squares

Squares splits the 6th harmonic into four subminor sixths of 11/7~14/9 (or splits a perfect eleventh into four supermajor thirds of 9/7~14/11), and uses it for a generator. It may be described as 14c & 17c; its ploidacot is beta-tetracot. 31edo, with a generator of 11/31, makes for a good squares tuning, with 8-, 11-, and 14-note mos scales available. Squares tempers out 2401/2400, the breedsma, as well as 2430/2401.

Meantritone

The meantritone temperament tempers out the mirkwai comma (16875/16807) and trimyna comma (50421/50000) in the 7-limit. In this temperament, the 6th harmonic is split into five generators of ~10/7; the ploidacot of this temperament is beta-pentacot. The name meantritone is a portmanteau of meantone and tritone, the latter is a generator of this temperament.

Injera

Injera has a half-octave period and a generator which can be taken as a fifth or fourth, but also as a ~15/14 semitone difference between a half-octave and a perfect fifth. Injera may be described as 12 & 26; its ploidacot is diploid monocot. It tempers out 50/49, equating 7/5 with 10/7 and giving a tritone of half an octave. A major third up from this tritone is the 7/4. 38edo, which is two parallel 19edos, is an excellent tuning for injera.

Pombe

Pombe (named after the African millet beer) is a variant of #Teff by Kaiveran Lugheidh that eschews the tempering of 50/49 to attain more accuracy in the 7-limit. Its ploidacot is diploid alpha-dicot, the same as teff. Oddly, the 7th harmonic has a lesser generator distance than in teff (-5 vs +8), but this combined with the fact that other harmonics are in the opposite direction means that the 7-limit diamond is more complex overall.
