Below are listed the [[Dyadic_chord|dyadic chords]] of 11-limit [[Meantone_family#Septimal meantone-Meanpop|meanpop temperament]]. Meanpop is one of the two extensions of septimal meantone, which itself is the main extension of 5-limit meantone; this is the temperament tempering out 81/80, 126/125 and 385/384. Typing the chords requires consideration of the fact that meanpop conflates 9/8 and 10/9; if a transversal can be found which shows the chord to be essentially just, that transversal is listed along with a typing as otonal, utonal, or ambitonal. If the chord is essentially tempered, it is analyzed in terms of the transversal which employs 9/8 and 16/9.

Chords requiring tempering only by 81/80 are labeled didymic, by 126/125 starling, by 225/224 marvel, by 385/384 keenanismic and by 540/539 swetismic. Chords which require any two of 81/80, 126/125 or 225/224 are labeled erato, and any two of 225/224, 385/384 or 540/539 unimarv. A chord requiring both of 81/80  and 540/539 is labeled terpsichore, and a chord requiring any three independent commas from those discussed above is labeled meanpop.

A chord requiring both of 81/80  and 540/539 is labeled terpsichore, and a chord requiring any three independent commas from those discussed above is labeled meanpop.


Meanpop has MOS of size 5, 7, 12, 19, 31, 50 and 81. While 5-limit meantone has been thoroughly explored, the same is not true of meanpop. The 19 note MOS would seem to be a good place to start such explorations.
