'''George Secor''' (November 8, 1943 – March 2, 2020<ref>[http://forum.sagittal.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=411 Farewell George Secor - The Sagittal forum]</ref>) is a theorist and composer noted for his discovery of [[miracle]] temperament in 1974, whose rediscovery gave a major impetus to the development of the regular mapping paradigm<ref>Breed, Graham. [http://x31eq.com/paradigm.html ''The Regular Mapping Paradigm'']. 2006.</ref>, and who together with [[Dave Keenan]] developed [[Sagittal notation]]. He has also developed other temperaments and scales, including [[well temperament]]s both of twelve notes and of more, such as seventeen, and has been an advocate of [[17edo|17edo]]. | |||
The interval (18/5)<sup>1/19</sup>, the 11-limit minimax generator for miracle temperament, was named [[secor]] in his honor. | |||
