'''Diminished''' is a [[rank-2 temperament|rank-2]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] that [[tempering out|tempers out]] the diminished comma, [[648/625]], in the 5-limit, and [[36/35]] and [[50/49]] in the [[7-limit]]. It has a 1/4-[[octave]] [[period]] and is [[generator|generated]] by a [[~]][[3/2]] perfect fifth. The main interest in this temperament is in its [[mos scale]]s, featuring [[tetrawood]] (4L 4s) when properly tuned.

'''Diminished''' is a [[rank-2 temperament|rank-2]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] that [[tempering out|tempers out]] the diminished comma, [[648/625]], in the [[5-limit]], and [[36/35]] and [[50/49]] in the [[7-limit]].

The main interest in this temperament is in its [[mos scale]]s, featuring [[tetrawood]] (4L 4s) when properly tuned.

It can be extended to the 2.3.5.7.19-[[subgroup]] where the 1/4-octave period stands in for both ~6/5 and ~19/16 since this ~19/16 is more accurate, though its mos structure of 4L 4s is very flexible, so one could use 3\4 minus ~8/7 as a ~670{{cent}} fifth for a 2.7.19 subgroup version of diminished, for example.

[[12edo]] is an obvious tuning. ~~Other~~ possible ~~tunings include~~ [[16edo]] ~~and [[28edo]], both of~~ which ~~having~~ the interesting feature of being good in the 2.7.19 subgroup, so that the fifth is approximately [[28/19]]. [[28edo]] is notable as a tuning for the 5-limit temperament, dimipent, as it has very accurate [[5/4]]'s, being a [[strongly consistent circle]] of them.

[[12edo]] is an obvious tuning. Another possible tuning is [[16edo]] which has the interesting feature of being relatively good in the 2.7.19 subgroup so that the fifth is approximately [[28/19]], or [[28edo]], which uses something like {{nowrap| ~[[95/64]] {{=}} ~([[19/16]])⋅([[5/4]]) }} as its fifth, of which the latter is notable as a tuning for the 5-limit temperament, dimipent, as it has very accurate [[5/4]]'s, being a [[strongly consistent circle]] of them.
