The '''unicorn family''' tempers out the [[unicorn comma]], 1594323/1562500 = {{monzo| -2 13 -8 }}. The canonical extension to the 7-limit is by interpreting the generator as a slightly flattened [[~]][[28/27]] so that a flat [[~]][[6/5]] is found at 5 generators, corresponding to tempering [[126/125]], the [[octaphore]] and the [[hemimage comma]].
The '''unicorn family''' tempers out the [[unicorn comma]] ({{monzo|legend=1| -2 13 -8 }}, [[ratio]]: 1594323/1562500).

By noticing that the generator is very close to [[28/27]] we find the extension to the 7-limit by tempering the [[octaphore]] (which finds [[~]][[9/7]] at 7 gens and [[~]][[4/3]] at 8 gens, hence its name) and [[126/125]] (finding [[~]][[6/5]] at 5 gens). From this we can observe that the most natural extension is by equating adjacent [[superparticular interval]]s, by tempering the [[square-particular]]s between them, leading to its [[S-expression]]-based comma list of {[[676/675|S26]], [[729/728|S27]], [[784/783|S28]], [[841/840|S29]]}, to which experimentation shows we can find a reasonable mapping for prime 43 at -11 gens while all other primes require either quite complex mappings (being significantly positive rather than negative) or require high error or both.
Unicorn divides the [[4/3|perfect fourth]] into eight equal parts, three for [[10/9]] and five for [[6/5]]. Its [[ploidacot]] is omega-octacot.

The canonical extension to the 7-limit is by interpreting the generator as a very slightly flattened [[~]][[28/27]], corresponding to tempering out 126/125, the [[starling comma]], and 10976/10935, the [[hemimage comma]]. As it equates the perfect fourth with a stack of eight 28/27's, it also tempers out the [[octaphore comma]] in the [[2.3.7 subgroup]].


The hemifourth, reached by four generator steps, can be interpreted as ~[[15/13]]. This gives rise to a natural [[2.3.5.7.13 subgroup|2.3.5.7.13-subgroup]] extension where [[196/195]] and [[676/675]] vanish.
From 10976/10935 = ([[784/783]])<sup>2</sup>⋅([[841/840]]) we obtain an add-29 extension for free, so the generator triples as 28/27~[[29/28]]~[[30/29]], and as 196/195 vanishes already, so does [[729/728]], leading to its [[S-expression]]-based comma list of {[[676/675|S26]], [[729/728|S27]], [[784/783|S28]], [[841/840|S29]]}.
Experimentation shows we can find a reasonable mapping for prime 43 at -11 generator steps, tempering out [[216/215]]. All other primes require either quite complex mappings (being significantly positive rather than negative) or require high error or both.
In all the subgroups above, the optimum is between [[58edo]] and [[77edo]], though a notable tuning not appearing in the [[optimal ET sequence]]s here is [[96edo]] using the 96d val (with a 963{{c}} [[~]][[7/4]] similar to that of [[meanpop]]), which sacrifices the accuracy of prime 7 in favour of a more accurate 5.

== Rhinoceros ==
== Rhinoceros ==
Rhinoceros tempers out the [[semaphoresma]] and the [[ragisma]], identifying the generator as a [[~]][[21/20]], rather than the [[28/27]] of septimal unicorn. It may be described as the {{nowrap| 19 & 20c }} temperament. [[19edo]] is a good tuning, though [[39edo]] is a possible alternative.
