Fractional-octave temperaments: Difference between revisions

Line 14:

Vanilla regular temperament theory does not distinguish periods and generators, so it treats divisions of periods (for example, what [[hemiennealimmal]] is to [[ennealimmal]]) as [[extension]]s of a temperament with a subset period, just like how it treats divisions of generators. However, fractional-octave temperaments and scales are sometimes sought for being able to treat each equal division as an entity in its own right, so a composer might find hemiennealimmal to be a drastically different system to ennealimmal in line with [[18edo]] being very different from [[9edo]].

Besides, on this wiki, temperament collection pages are used to collect temperaments that temper out a common comma. For example, the [[landscape microtemperaments]] list features temperaments which all temper out the [[landscape comma]], as they are all related by that. A fractional-octave temperament user might consider that it contains wildly different temperaments due to the fact that edo multiples of 3 themselves are different. For example, magnesium (12), and zinc (30), are both landscape systems due to being multiples of 3, but 30edo is drastically different from 12edo in terms of composition, and therefore such temperaments are not alike at all.
