Ragismic microtemperaments: Difference between revisions

This is a collection of [[rank-2 temperament|rank-2]] [[regular temperament|temperaments]] [[tempering out]] the ragisma, [[4375/4374]] ({{monzo| -1 -7 4 1 }}). The ragisma is the smallest [[7-limit]] [[superparticular ratio]].  

Since {{nowrap|(10/9)⁴ {{=}} (4375/4374)⋅(32/21) }}, the minor tone 10/9 tends to be an interval of relatively low [[complexity]] in temperaments tempering out the ragisma, though when looking at [[microtemperament]]s the word "relatively" should be emphasized. Even so mitonic uses it as a generator, which ennealimmal and enneadecal can do also, and amity reaches it in three generators. We also have {{nowrap| 7/6 {{=}} (4375/4374)⋅(27/25)² }}, so 27/25 also tends to relatively low complexity, with the same caveat about "relatively"; however 27/25 is the period for ennealimmal.

Considered below, sorted by [[badness]], are supermajor, enneadecal, semidimi, brahmagupta, abigail, gamera, crazy, orga, chlorine, octoid, seniority, monzismic, semidimfourth, acrokleismic, quasithird, quincy, deca, keenanose, counterkleismic, sfourth, aluminium, ragitritonic, quatracot, trideci, moulin, and palladium.  

The generator for supermajor temperament is a supermajor third, [[9/7]], tuned about 0.002 cents flat. Note that in the data that follow, the generator is given as its [[octave complement]]. 37 of these give 3/2²², 46 give 5/2²⁷, and 75 give 7/2⁴⁵. This is clearly quite a complex temperament; it makes up for it, to the extent it does, with extreme accuracy: [[1106edo]] or [[1277edo]] can be used as tunings, leading to accuracy even greater than that of [[ennealimmal]]. The 80-note generator chain is presumably the place to start, and if that is not enough notes for you, there is always the 171-note generator chain.

Enneadecal tempers out the [[enneadeca]], {{monzo| -14 -19 19 }}, and as a consequence has a period of 1/19 octave. This is because the enneadeca is the amount by which nineteen [[6/5|just minor thirds]] fall short of an octave. If to this we add 4375/4374 we get the 7-limit temperament we are considering here, but note should be taken of the fact that it makes for a reasonable 5-limit microtemperament also, where the generator can be ~25/24, ~27/25, ~10/9, ~5/4 or ~3/2. To this we may add possible 7-limit generators such as ~225/224, ~15/14 or ~9/7. Since enneadecal tempers out [[703125/702464]], the amount by which 81/80 falls short of three stacked 225/224, we can equate the 225/224 generator with (81/80)^1/3. This is the interval needed to adjust the 1/3-comma meantone flat fifths and major thirds of [[19edo]] up to just ones.  

[[171edo]] is a good tuning for either the 5- or 7-limit, and [[494edo]] shows how to extend the temperament to the 11- or 13-limit, where it is accurate but very complex. Fans of near-perfect fifths may want to use [[665edo]] for a tuning.

== Brahmagupta ==

The brahmagupta temperament has a period of 1/7 octave, tempering out the [[akjaysma]] ({{monzo| 47 -7 -7 -7 }}), and may be described as the {{nowrap| 217 & 224 }} temperament.

Early in the design of the [[Sagittal]] notation system, [[George Secor|Secor]] and [[Dave Keenan|Keenan]] found that an economical JI notation system could be defined, which divided the apotome (Pythagorean sharp or flat) into 21 almost-equal divisions. This required only 10 microtonal accidentals, although a few others were added for convenience in alternative spellings. This is called the Athenian symbol set (which includes the Spartan set). Its symbols are defined to exactly notate many common 11-limit ratios and the 17th harmonic, and to approximate within ±0.4{{c}} many common 13-limit ratios. If the divisions were made exactly equal, this would be the specific tuning of brahmagupta that has pure octaves and pure fifths, which can also be described as a 17-limit extension having a 1/7-octave period (171.4286{{c}}) and 1/21-apotome generator (5.4136{{c}}).

: ''For the 5-limit version, see [[Miscellaneous 5-limit temperaments #Abigail]].''

Abigail tempers out the [[pessoalisma]] in addition to the ragisma in the 7-limit, and may be described as the {{nowrap| 46 & 224 }} temperament, with a [[ploidacot]] signature of diploid wau-hendecacot. It extends into a very strong 11- and 13-limit temperament. [[494edo]], [[764edo]] and [[1258edo]] are among the possible tunings.

Abigail was named by [[Gene Ward Smith]] in 2010 after the birthday of First Lady Abigail Fillmore.<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning-math/topicId_17927.html#17930 Yahoo!
