The '''Mercator family''' tempers out [[Mercator's comma]], {{monzo| -84 53 }}, and hence the fifths form a closed 53-note circle of fifths, identical to [[53edo]]. While the tuning of the fifth will be that of 53edo, 0.069 cents flat, the tuning of the larger primes is not so constrained, and the point of these temperaments is to improve on it.

== Schismerc ==
As per the name, schismerc is characterized by the addition of the schisma, [[32805/32768]], to Mercator's comma, which completely reduces all commas in the [[schismic–Mercator equivalence continuum]] to the [[unison]], and thus, the 5-limit part is exactly the same as the 5-limit of 53edo, with the addition of harmonic 7 represented by an independent generator. Among the 11-limit extensions are cartography, pentacontatritonic, boiler, and auric.

=== Cartography ===
Cartography is a strong extension to schismerc that nails down both the 7-limit and the 11-limit by adding the [[symbiotic comma]] to schismerc's list of tempered commas. The name for this temperament comes from how good the mappings are, and also from the idea of ''Mercator'' being a dual reference to both Nicolas Mercator and Gerardus Mercator.


Badness: 0.0870
13-limit cartography adds the [[island comma]] to the list of tempered commas – a development which fits well with the ideas of mapmaking and geography. The harmonic 13 in this extension is part of the period and independent of the generator for harmonics 7 and 11.

=== Pentacontatritonic ===
First proposed by [[Xenllium]], this temperament nails down both the 7-limit and the 11-limit by tempering out the [[swetisma]]. Like cartography, pentacontatritonic is a strong extension to schismerc.


Badness: 0.0300
13-limit pentacontatritonic adds the [[minisma]] to the list of commas being tempered out. In this extension the harmonic 13 is connected to the generator.

=== Boiler ===
Boiler nails down both the 7-limit and the 11-limit by adding the [[kalisma]] to schismerc's list of tempered commas, though unlike with the other extensions of schismerc, this temperament is not only a [[weak extension]], but lacks a clear 13-limit extension of its own. The name for this temperament is a reference to how 212 degrees Fahrenheit is the boiling point of water, as well as to a number of mechanical devices that boil water for various purposes.

Proposed by Eliora, the name of ''iodine'' is taken from the convention of naming some fractional-octave temperaments after elements, in this case the 53rd chemical element. It can be expressed as the 159 & 742 temperament. 3 generators plus 2 periods reach the [[5/1|5th harmonic]]. 5 generators reach the [[14/1|14th harmonic]].
 
In the 11-limit, the [[~]][[11/8]] can serve as a generator, being 16 periods less than the canonical generator.
