'''Leapday''' is a [[regular temperament]] for the 7-, 11-, 13-, 17-, and no-19 23-limit. It is based on the [[chain of fifths]], but here, the fifth is tuned slightly sharp of just (approximately 704{{cent}}) so that 6 fifths give [[23/16]], 8 fifths give [[13/8]], 11 fifths give [[11/8]], 15 fifths give [[7/4]], 21 fifths give [[5/4]], and 24 fifths give [[17/16]].  
'''Leapday''' is a [[regular temperament|temperament]] based on the [[chain of fifths]], but the fifth is tuned slightly sharp of just (approximately 704{{cent}}) so that 15 fifths give [[7/4]] and 21 fifths give [[5/4]]. In other words, the classical major third (5/4) is represented by a triple-augmented unison (C–C𝄪♯), and the harmonic seventh (7/4) is represented by a double-augmented fifth (C–G𝄪).  


Equivalently:
Leapday can be easily extended to the [[13-limit]] by identifying [[14/11]] with the major third and [[13/11]] with the minor third. This implies 11/8 is represented by an augmented third (C–E♯) and 13/8 is represented by an augmented fifth (C–G♯).  
* 5/4, the classical major third, is represented by a triply augmented unison (C–C𝄪♯),
* 7/4, the harmonic seventh, is represented by a doubly augmented fifth (C–G𝄪),
* 11/8 is represented by an augmented third (C–E♯),
* 13/8 is represented by an augmented fifth (C–G♯),
* 17/16 is represented by an octave-reduced triply augmented sixth (C–A𝄪♯), and
* 23/16 is represented by an augmented fourth (C–F♯).


As a result, leapday is very much the "opposite" of meantone in many respects, similar to [[superpyth]]: meantone (including [[12edo]]) has the fifth tuned flat so that intervals of harmonic 5 are simple while intervals of harmonics 7, 11, and 13 are complex, while leapday has the fifth tuned sharp so that intervals of 7, 11, and 13 are relatively simple while intervals of 5 are complex.

If ratios of 5 are omitted, the 2.3.7.11.13 [[subgroup]] version of leapday is known as '''leapfrog''', notable as tempering [[parapyth]] (a rank-3 temperament of the 2.3.7.11.13 subgroup) to rank 2 by finding [[~]][[13/8]] at ([[~]][[9/8]])<sup>4</sup>, that is, by tempering out the [[tetris comma]], and is a good combination of simplicity and accuracy, as 5/4 is complex and the canonical mapping for prime 19 is fairly inaccurate.
Further extensions for [[prime]]s [[17/1|17]] and [[23/1|23]] are available, where 17/16 is represented by an octave-reduced triple-augmented sixth (C–A𝄪♯), and 23/16 is represented by an augmented fourth (C–F♯).
 
Since ratios of 5 are complex, they can be omitted, and the [[2.3.7.11.13 subgroup|2.3.7.11.13-subgroup]] version of leapday is known as [[leapfrog]], notable as tempering [[parapyth]] (a rank-3 temperament of the 2.3.7.11.13 subgroup) to rank 2 by finding [[~]][[13/8]] at ([[~]][[9/8]])<sup>4</sup>, that is, by tempering out the [[tetris comma]], and is a good combination of simplicity and accuracy.
