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 octagar family of rank-3 temperaments tempers out the octagar comma, 4000/3969.

For rank-2 temperaments that temper out the octagar comma, see Octagar temperaments.

Octagar

Octagar is generated by a perfect fifth and a minor sixth of ~63/40, two of which make ~5/2, and three make an interval short of two octaves by a septimal comma.

While many 7-limit rank-3 temperaments exhibit a tendency towards tuning flat, a slight sharp tendency is often preferred instead. Octagar provides this; for instance the 7-odd-limit minimax tuning has 3's and 7's 2.245 cents sharp, with just 5's.

This temperament is catalogued as octagari in Graham Breed's Temperament Finder.
