== Gentle comma (364/363) and region, also tempering out 352/351 ==

Please note that while this article correctly notes that 159-ed2 tempers out364/363, the gentle region and grntle temperament also involves tempering out 352/351. In other words, -3 fifths represents 13/11 or 33/28; and +4 fifths represents 14/11 or 33/28. Thus there sre two genle commas: 159-ed2 tempers out 364/363, but not 352/351; compare 38\159 for 13/11 or 33/28 with 39\159 (-3 fifths) for 32/27. In gentle temperament as I described it in 2002, 32;27 and 13/11 or 33/28 map to -3 fifths.

: Would you say the gentle comma should refer to either 352/351 or 364/363? And that gentle temperament is the 13-limit temperament tempering out both 352/351 and 364/363? In that case we'll need to come up with another name for 364/363 cuz right now it's known specifically as ''the'' gentle comma.

I eould say it's important that any change or updating of terms be graceful and as backward-compatible as possible. Maybe the larger minthma/gentle comma for 352/351 (old minthma) and smaller minthma/gentle comma for 364/363 (old gentle comma). I know that people have relied on the old names, and developed temperaments that, unlike my gentle but just as validly, temper out one but not the other. So this kind of collegiality and consultation is very helpful in seeking out, if you'll forgive the pun, the kindest and most gentle solution.
