Omega-tricot (beta-tricot)
Pergen [P8, P4/3]
Numeral form 2-sheared 3-cot
Pure generator size 166.01 ¢
Pure period size 1200 ¢
Forms 7, 8, 15, 22
Characteristic multival entry 3

Omega-tricot is a temperament archetype where the generator is a submajor second, three of which stack to form a perfect fourth of 4/3, and the period is a 2/1 octave. Omega-tricot temperaments usually generate the 1L 6s and 7L 1s MOS structures. Omega-tricot temperaments produce "supraminor" and "submajor" intervals, splitting the chromatic semitone into three parts.

Intervals and notation

While there is no agreed-upon notation system for omega-tricot, the following is based on interpreting the generator as a submajor second, allowing for an ^ or v to stand for 1/3 of a chromatic semitone, so ^^C and vC# are enharmonic.

Temperament interpretations

Porcupine

In porcupine, the generator is 11/10, two generators make 6/5, and three make 4/3. This is tuned best with a considerably flat generator of about 162 ¢ or so, and naturally extends to the full 11-limit as in superpyth, so the minor seventh is 7/4.

Superpine

In superpine, the generator is again mapped to 11/10, and the mapping for 5 is as in meantone, so 5/4 is found 12 generators down. The interval of two generators no longer represents a minor third, but more of a neutral one, as it is mapped to 39/32 (so that 5 generators span 13/8). The canonical mapping of 7 places 7/2 at 13 generators, equating the generator to 35/32. It is best tuned with a slightly sharp generator of about 168 ¢.
