This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

The gravity family tempers out graviton, the 5-limit comma 129140163/128000000 = [-13 17 -6⟩. The graviton equals (81/80)4/(25/24), so that four 81/80 commas come to a classic chromatic semitone. The generator of gravity temperament is a grave fifth of ~40/27, and hence the name. It is part of the syntonic–chromatic equivalence continuum, whereby (81/80)k = 25/24.

Overview to extensions

Full 7-limit extensions of gravity include marvo (65d & 72), zarvo (65 & 72), gravid (58 & 65), and harry (58 & 72), all considered below. A notable subgroup extension is larry.

There is also an unnamed 58 & 65d extension by tempering 176/175 to extend larry to include prime 7 and tempering 847/845 to extend it to the 13-limit, with an S-expression-based comma list of {S8/S9, S9/S10, S10/S11, (S11/S13,) S12}.

Main article: Harry

Harry adds the breedsma, 2401/2400, and the cataharry comma, 19683/19600, to the set of commas, and may be described as the 58 & 72 temperament. The period is half an octave, and the generator ~21/20, with generator tunings of 9\130 or 14\202 being good choices. Mos of size 14, 16, 30, 44 or 58 are among the scale choices.

It becomes much more interesting as we move to the 11-limit, where we can add 243/242, 441/440 and 540/539 to the set of commas. 9\130 and especially 14\202 still make for good tuning choices.
