There are three notable [[ | There are three notable [[harmonic entropy]] minima with this [[mos]] pattern. | ||
* The lowest accuracy one is [[porcupine]], in which two generators make a [[6/5]] and three make a [[4/3]]. The range of porcupine tunings is about 2\15 to 3\22. | |||
* Less well-known and more accurate is [[greeley]], in which two generators are still 6/5 but three fall quite short of a 4/3, but the scale happens to closely approximate a lot of higher-complexity intervals like [[10/7]], [[11/7]], etc. | |||
* Thirdly and finally, [[tempering out]] [[4000/3993|S10/S11]] so that ([[4/3]])/([[11/10]])<sup>3</sup> is tempered out results in an unusually high accuracy and efficient rank-2 temperament in the 2.3.11/5 subgroup for which interpretation as a rank-3 temperament in 2.3.5.11 (the no-7's [[11-limit]]) is natural, making [[10/9]] and [[12/11]] [[square superparticular|equidistant from 11/10]] and offering many fruitful tempering opportunities. Note therefore that [[porkypine]] can be seen as a trivial tuning of [[4000/3993|pine]] tempering out {{nowrap|[[100/99]] {{=}} S10}} and {{nowrap|[[121/120]] {{=}} S11}}. | |||
