These temperament names are no longer in use, although older material may still reference them. If one must refer to these temperaments, it is recommended to do so with an ET join (e. g. "11-limit 12 & 85") or as a restriction of a different temperament (e. g. "no-7s cassandra")
This page collects deleted entries of [[regular temperament]]s from the Xenharmonic Wiki due to not meeting our [[Xenharmonic Wiki: Notability guidelines|notability guidelines]], although other materials may still reference them. We recommend to refer to these temperaments with an ET [[join]] (e. g. "11-limit 12 & 85") or as a [[restriction]] of a different temperament (e. g. "no-7's cassandra").

This page collects deleted entries of regular temperaments from the Xenharmonic Wiki due to not meeting our notability guidelines, although other materials may still reference them. We recommend to refer to these temperaments with an ET join (e. g. "11-limit 12 & 85") or as a restriction of a different temperament (e. g. "no-7's cassandra").
