Temperament families and clans should only be created when the head temperament has multiple branches to higher limits, and for the sake of navigability, is within rank-2 to rank-4. The head temperament should be one of the 7-limit tri-prime subgroups (2.3.5, 2.3.7, 2.5.7, and 3.5.7) for rank-2, the 11-limit analog for rank-3, or the 13-limit analog for rank-4.
