'''Würschmidt''' is a [[rank-2 temperament|rank-2]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] and parent of the [[würschmidt family]], characterized by tempering out the [[würschmidt comma]] ([[ratio]]: 393216/390625, {{monzo|legend=1| 17 1 -8 }}). It can be treated as analogous to [[schismic]] with the roles of the primes 3 and 5 reversed, since würschmidt is [[generator|generated]] by a [[5/4|classical major third (5/4)]], very slightly sharpened so that eight of them make the sixth harmonic ([[6/1]]), giving [[3/2]] the same complexity [[5/4]] has in schismic, but with comparable accuracy on the part of the generator. Four generators, therefore, reach the interval [[625/512]], which is equated to [[768/625]] and functions as a neutral third.

Another useful interpretation of the würschmidt comma is that it makes the interval of [[25/24]] equal to two-thirds the size of [[16/15]]. This can be exploited, as 16/15 factorizes into near-2:1 parts as ([[24/23]])×([[46/45]]), and therefore it is illogical ''not'' to set 25/24 equal to 24/23 (and [[128/125]] equal to 46/45) as well and set the remainder, 46/45, equal to a third of 16/15, by tempering S24 = [[576/575]] and S46<sup>2</sup> × S47 = [[12167/12150]] in the 2.3.5.23 [[subgroup]]. 14 generators turn out to stack to [[23/1]], and notably, 6/1 stacked 7 times and 23/1 stacked four times (at 56 generators) differ only by the 0.59-cent comma [[279936/279841]].
Strong extensions to the [[7-limit]] include [[würschmidt family #septimal würschmidt|septimal würschmidt]] (tempering out [[225/224]], finding 7 at +18 generator steps), [[worschmidt]] (tempering out [[126/125]], finding 7 at -13 generator steps), and [[whirrschmidt]] (tempering out [[4375/4374]], finding 7 at +52 generator steps), but these are either considerably higher-damage or much higher-complexity than 5-limit würschmidt. In fact, the best septimal extension may be the weak extension [[hemiwürschmidt]], which splits the ~5/4 generator into two ~[[28/25]]'s by tempering out [[3136/3125]] alongside [[2401/2400]] and [[6144/6125]].  


Strong extensions to the [[7-limit]] include [[würschmidt family#septimal würschmidt|septimal würschmidt]], [[worschmidt]], and [[whirrschmidt]], but these are either considerably higher-damage or much higher-complexity than 5-limit würschmidt. In fact, the best septimal extension may be the weak extension [[hemiwürschmidt]], which splits the ~5/4 generator into two ~[[28/25]]'s. Therefore, it may be advisable to consider würschmidt a no-sevens system, specifically in the 2.3.5.11 subgroup, where an extension that equates 128/125 with [[45/44]] and therefore 625/512 with [[11/9]] (by tempering out [[243/242]] and [[5632/5625]]), finding the 11th harmonic at 20 generators up, is highly natural, in addition to the aforementioned extension to prime 23.
Therefore, it may be advisable to consider würschmidt a no-7's system, specifically in the [[2.3.5.11 subgroup]], where an extension that equates 128/125 with [[45/44]] and therefore 625/512 with [[11/9]] (by tempering out [[243/242]] and [[5632/5625]]), finding the 11th harmonic at 20 generators up, is highly natural.


== Interval chains ==
Another useful interpretation of the würschmidt comma is that it makes the interval of [[25/24]] equal to two-thirds the size of [[16/15]]. This can be exploited, as 16/15 factorizes into near-2:1 parts as {{nowrap|([[24/23]])⋅([[46/45]])}}, and therefore, if one is interested in adding another prime to this temperament, it is illogical ''not'' to set 25/24 equal to 24/23 (and [[128/125]] equal to 46/45) as well and set the remainder, 46/45, equal to a third of 16/15, by tempering out [[576/575]] ({{S|24}}) and [[12167/12150]] ([[S-expression|S46<sup>2</sup>⋅S47]]). A perhaps more direct way of seeing why equating 25/24 with 24/23 is natural is that würschmidt's generator is a slightly sharpened 5/4 with a slightly flat 3/2 in an optimised tuning, so that 25/24 is sharpened and equating it with 24/23 takes advantage of the natural tempering tendency. 14 generators turn out to stack to [[23/1]]. Notably, 6/1 stacked 7 times and 23/1 stacked four times (at 56 generators) differ only by the 0.59-cent comma [[279936/279841]] ([[2401/2400|S49]]/([[25921/25920|S161]]<sup>2</sup>)).

Würschmidt is a rank-2 temperament and parent of the würschmidt family, characterized by tempering out the würschmidt comma (ratio: 393216/390625, monzo: [17 1 -8⟩). It can be treated as analogous to schismic with the roles of the primes 3 and 5 reversed, since würschmidt is generated by a classical major third (5/4), very slightly sharpened so that eight of them make the sixth harmonic (6/1), giving 3/2 the same complexity 5/4 has in schismic, but with comparable accuracy on the part of the generator. Four generators, therefore, reach the interval 625/512, which is equated to 768/625 and functions as a neutral third.

For technical data, see Würschmidt family #Würschmidt.

Extensions

Strong extensions to the 7-limit include septimal würschmidt (tempering out 225/224, finding 7 at +18 generator steps), worschmidt (tempering out 126/125, finding 7 at -13 generator steps), and whirrschmidt (tempering out 4375/4374, finding 7 at +52 generator steps), but these are either considerably higher-damage or much higher-complexity than 5-limit würschmidt. In fact, the best septimal extension may be the weak extension hemiwürschmidt, which splits the ~5/4 generator into two ~28/25's by tempering out 3136/3125 alongside 2401/2400 and 6144/6125.

Therefore, it may be advisable to consider würschmidt a no-7's system, specifically in the 2.3.5.11 subgroup, where an extension that equates 128/125 with 45/44 and therefore 625/512 with 11/9 (by tempering out 243/242 and 5632/5625), finding the 11th harmonic at 20 generators up, is highly natural.

Another useful interpretation of the würschmidt comma is that it makes the interval of 25/24 equal to two-thirds the size of 16/15. This can be exploited, as 16/15 factorizes into near-2:1 parts as (24/23)⋅(46/45), and therefore, if one is interested in adding another prime to this temperament, it is illogical not to set 25/24 equal to 24/23 (and 128/125 equal to 46/45) as well and set the remainder, 46/45, equal to a third of 16/15, by tempering out 576/575 (S24) and 12167/12150 (S462⋅S47). A perhaps more direct way of seeing why equating 25/24 with 24/23 is natural is that würschmidt's generator is a slightly sharpened 5/4 with a slightly flat 3/2 in an optimised tuning, so that 25/24 is sharpened and equating it with 24/23 takes advantage of the natural tempering tendency. 14 generators turn out to stack to 23/1. Notably, 6/1 stacked 7 times and 23/1 stacked four times (at 56 generators) differ only by the 0.59-cent comma 279936/279841 (S49/(S1612)).
