== Lesser Tendoneutralic ==

[[Bryan Deister]] has demonstrated a [[7L 3s]] (7:6 step ratio) layout for [[67edo]] that uses the tempering out of the [[Lesser tendoneutralisma]] (70368744177664/69894255367443, more conveniently described as {{~~nowrap~~|~~{{!}}~~46 -1 0 0 0 -~~12⟩~~}}), in [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uwxey9_jINA ''microtonal improvisation in 67edo''] (2025). The underlying generator of the temperament is two steps right and one step down-right on the keyboard, which is 20\67, which is a near-just ~[[16/13]] (octave-reduced 13th subharmonic). Twelve of these are tempered together to make ~[[12/1]], which is then octave-reduced to the twelfth ~[[3/1]], and thence to the fifth ~[[3/2]]. The range is a bit under 3⅓ octaves, and the octaves are almost level, having a barely perceptible downward slant. Although very efficient, this mapping takes a very xenharmonic approach 67edo — the notes of a complete [[meantone]] diatonic scale are not situated for easy access (being widely spaced vertically and always requiring a vertical wraparound to play the complete diatonic scale).

== Infraorwell (gramitonic) ==

[[Bryan Deister]] has tested forward and reverse chroma [[4L 5s]] (gramitonic, 8:7 step ratio) mappings for [[67edo]]. Both get all notes in each octave and have a range of a bit over 4½ octaves. Apart from straight right (forward chroma version) or straight down-right (reverse chroma version, the most accessible generator is 15\67, which is a near-just septimal minor third ~[[7/6]]. This would suggest [[Orwell]], except that the septimal minor third of 67edo is too close to just for actual Orwell temperament, and so a stack of it manages to miss all of the intervals characteristic of Orwell, other than a fairly flat classic minor sixth ~[[8/5]]. Instead, this yields [[Orwellismic_temperaments#Infraorwell|Infraorwell]].
