<h2>IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES</h2>
'''Pseudo-semaphore''' is a [[dual-fifth]] temperament related to [[semaphore]]. As in all dual-fifth temperaments, the third harmonic has two mappings, in this case a [[flattone]] to [[flattertone]]-sized one and a [[superpyth]] to [[ultrapyth]]-sized one.

If you want to force it into the regular mapping paradigm you have to think of it as a 2.3.3'.7 temperament.


It's called "pseudo-semaphore" because it has the same MOS structure as semaphore, but 49/48 is not tempered out. Perhaps it's better to think of it as [[Superpyth|superpyth]] in which the 4/3 generator has been split in half forming a weird interval that's neither 8/7 nor 7/6.

The 5-note MOS is not much use because only one of the two different mappings shows up. You'd be better off using &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/semaphore"&gt;semaphore&lt;/a&gt;[5] or &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/superpyth"&gt;superpyth&lt;/a&gt;[5] (or &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/5edo"&gt;5edo&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;br /&gt;

Pseudo-semaphore is a dual-fifth temperament related to semaphore. As in all dual-fifth temperaments, the third harmonic has two mappings, in this case a flattone to flattertone-sized one and a superpyth to ultrapyth-sized one.

It's called "pseudo-semaphore" because it has the same MOS structure as semaphore, but 49/48 is not tempered out. Perhaps it's better to think of it as superpyth in which the 4/3 generator has been split in half forming a weird interval that's neither 8/7 nor 7/6.

MOSes

5-note (LLLLs, proper)

The 5-note MOS is not much use because only one of the two different mappings shows up. You'd be better off using semaphore[5] or superpyth[5] (or 5edo).

Small ("minor") interval 224. 468. 712. 956.
JI intervals represented 9/8~8/7 3/2
Large ("major") interval 244. 488. 732. 976.
JI intervals represented 4/3 7/4~16/9

9-note (LLsLsLsLs, improper)

Here's where all the action begins. Note that this nine-note scale contains nine 4/3s and nine 3/2s. The only way this is possible with a single mapping for 3 is an equal temperament, and all of these 4/3s and 3/2s are much more accurate than in 9edo.

Small ("minor") interval 20. 244. 264. 488. 508. 732. 752. 976.
JI intervals represented 7/6 4/3 (flat) 4/3 (sharp) 14/9 7/4~16/9
Large ("major") interval 224. 448. 468. 692. 712. 936. 956. 1180.
JI intervals represented 9/8~8/7 9/7 3/2 (flat) 3/2 (sharp) 12/7
