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

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

=== 2.3.5.7.23 subgroup ===
There is a reasonable extension to the 2.3.5.7.23 subgroup, which tempers out [[161/160]] and [[162/161]], and maps the [[23/16]] to the diminished fifth (C–G♭).

==== 2.3.5.7.11.23 subgroup ====
It is very reasonable to extend meanpop to the 2.3.5.7.11.23 subgroup. In this temperament, [[21/20]], [[23/22]], [[24/23]], [[25/24]] and [[28/27]] are mapped to the augmented unison.
