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.
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]].

==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 of septimal meantone is the augmented sixth, C-A#, and other septimal intervals are 7/6, C-D#, the augmented second, and 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.

===Meanpop===
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.
Commas: 81/80, 126/125, 385/384


11-limit minimax 1/4 comma
==== Splitting the meantone fifth into two (243/242) ====
[|1 0 0 0 0&gt;, |1 0 1/4 0 0&gt;, |0 0 1 0 0&gt;,
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.

[[POTE tuning|POTE generator]]: 696.434
==== Splitting the meantone fifth into three (1029/1024) ====
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.


Algebraic generator: Cybozem; or else Radieubiz, the real root of 3x^3+6x-19. Unlike Cybozem, the recurrence for Radieubiz does not converge.
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]]).

==== 31edo as splitting the fifth into two, three and nine ====
Generators: 2, 3
[[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).

The wedgie for flattone is &lt;&lt;1 4 -9 4 -17 -32||, which tells us among other things that 9 generator steps of 4/3 get to the interval class for 7, meaning that 7/4 is a diminished minor seventh interval. Other intervals are 7/6, a diminished minor third, and 7/5, a doubly diminshed fifth. Good tunings for flattone are [[26edo]], [[45edo]] and [[64edo]].
The rest are considered below.

9-limit minimax
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.

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 fifths, and with [[29edo]], [[41edo]], or [[53edo]].

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.

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 19edos, is an excellent tuning for injera.

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-half intervals these represent give a fourth, and so step-and-a-half 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. Godzilla is not well supplied with good [[MOSScales|MOS scales]], though it has a pentatonic scale which could serve as an alternative to [[5edo]], but other options exist for those wanting to explore it.

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.

==== Grosstone ====
[|1 0 0 0&gt;, |1 0 1/4 0&gt;, |0 0 1 0&gt;, |6 0 -11/8 0&gt;]
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]].

Commas: 81/80, 1029/1024


Mothra, with wedgie &lt;&lt;3 12 -1 12 -10 -36||, splits the fifth into three 8/7 generators. It uses 1029/1024, the gamelisma, to accomplish this deed and also tempers out 1728/1715, the orwell comma. Using [[31edo]] with a generator of 6/31 is an excellent tuning choice. Once again something other than a MOS should be used as a scale to get the most out of mothra.

==== 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.

[[74edo]] makes for a good liese tuning, though [[19edo]] can be used. The tuning is well-supplied with MOS: 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 36, 55.
