per discussion on discord: for the same logic as neon should belong in 10th-octave, aluminium similarly should be placed here. besides it adds to this page as opposed to just listing "discussed elsewhere".

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.

A 13th-octave temperament can be described by temperament merging of edos whose greatest common divisor is 13. Although 13edo itself is not particularly accurate for low-complexity harmonics, some temperaments which are multiples of 13 are.

Furthermore, one step of 13edo is very close to 135/128, a notable 5-limit interval, in fact it is a semiconvergent to the said representation. Hence, considered below is aluminium.

Temperaments discussed elsewhere are tridecatonic, trideci, and triskaidekic.

Aluminium

For extensions, see Ragismic microtemperaments #Aluminium.

Aluminium tempers out [92 -39 -13 in the 5-limit, and sets 135/128 to 1/13 of an octave.
