'''BPS''' (for ''Bohlen–Pierce–Stearns'') is a [[non-octave]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] in the 3.5.7 [[subgroup]] generated by a sharp [[~]][[9/7]] (or equivalently a flat ~[[7/3]]), [[tempering out]] the sensamagic comma ([[245/243]]) so that a stack of two generators represents [[5/3]] in addition to 81/49. This generates a [[mos scale]] of {{mos scalesig|4L 5s<3/1>|link=1}}, known as the Bohlen–Pierce ''Lambda'' scale. The "canonical" tuning for the generator is [[13edt|3\13edt]], representing the equal-tempered [[Bohlen–Pierce]] scale, but a range of other tunings are valid, including [[17edt|4\17edt]], [[30edt|7\30edt]], and [[43edt|10\43edt]].

As the generator of the Bohlen–Pierce scale, and the simplest decently accurate temperament of the 3.5.7 subgroup, this temperament fulfills a niche similar to [[meantone]] of the 2.3.5 subgroup, allowing for the 3:5:7:9 tetrad to serve as BPS' primary consonance, similar to how the 4:5:6 triad serves as meantone's primary consonance.
