Below are listed some '''very low accuracy temperaments'''. Temperaments with exceedingly low accuracy such as these tend to [[tempering out|temper out]] very large intervals such as [[9/8]], [[10/9]], [[32/27]], or [[15/14]], equating wildly different interval sizes with [[semitone (interval size measure)|semitone]]-level or even greater [[error]]s, and often swapping the sizes of simple ratios compared to just intonation. As a result, all of them are right on or even beyond the edge of what can be sensibly called a temperament at all; that is to say, they are [[exotemperament]]s.


Below are listed some very low accuracy temperaments.
== Antitonic ==
This temperament is characterized by [[9/8]] being tempered out and has been termed a "troll temperament" by its namers. Its [[ploidacot]] is diploid acot. It is named on account of 4/3 and 3/2 both being represented by the 600-cent half octave, which, in terms of diatonic function, serves as an antitonic. The 7-limit extension tempers out 15/14 and 21/20, equating 5/4 with 7/6 and 6/5 with 8/7. The 11-limit extension tempers out 12/11 and 33/32. The original 5-limit is basically the 3-limit music of [[2edo]] with the addition of harmonic 5 represented by an independent generator.

== Alteraugment ==
== Alteraugment ==
Alteraugment tempers out the [[32/27|Pythagorean minor third (32/27)]]. It is like [[augmented (temperament)|augmented]], but the period represents 4/3 instead of 5/4, and the generator in turn provides 5/4 instead of 3/2. Its ploidacot is triploid acot. [[User:VectorGraphics|Vector Graphics]] suggests the name ''kinsborough'' for this temperament.

Optimal tunings:
This temperament is characterized by tempering out [[9/8]], and has been termed a "troll temperament".  It is named on account of 4/3 and 3/2 both being represented by the 600 cent half octave, which serves as an Antitonic. Surprisingly, it has extensions all the way up to the 11-limit, as confirmed by the data from [http://x31eq.com/cgi-bin/rt.cgi?limit=11&ets=2_4p&tuning=po x31eq].  The original 5-limit is basically the 3-limit music of [[2edo]] with the addition of harmonic 5 represented by an independent generator.

== Quint ==
Quint preserves the 5-limit mapping of 5edo, and harmonic 7 is mapped to an independent generator. As harmonic 7 is already quite accurately approximated by 5edo for its size, this temperament provides little improvement, so it is only provided below for bookkeeping purposes. It would make much more sense to, for example, preserve the 2.3.7-subgroup structure of 5edo and give prime 5 an independent generator instead, which is exactly what [[blackwood]] does.

Codex was named by [[User:Jerdle|Jerdle]] as an abbreviation of "co-decimal", as it resembles [[decimal]] in many ways, but exchanges the roles of 5's and 7's. While decimal equates [[8/7]] and [[7/6]], as well as [[6/5]] and [[5/4]], this equates [[10/9]] and [[6/5]], as well as [[7/6]] and [[9/7]]. It is an extension of [[bug]] and [[54/49|mujannabic]] in the same way decimal is of [[semaphore]] and [[dicot]]. Its ploidacot is diploid dicot.

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.

Below are listed some very low accuracy temperaments. Temperaments with exceedingly low accuracy such as these tend to temper out very large intervals such as 9/8, 10/9, 32/27, or 15/14, equating wildly different interval sizes with semitone-level or even greater errors, and often swapping the sizes of simple ratios compared to just intonation. As a result, all of them are right on or even beyond the edge of what can be sensibly called a temperament at all; that is to say, they are exotemperaments.

Antitonic

This temperament is characterized by 9/8 being tempered out and has been termed a "troll temperament" by its namers. Its ploidacot is diploid acot. It is named on account of 4/3 and 3/2 both being represented by the 600-cent half octave, which, in terms of diatonic function, serves as an antitonic. The 7-limit extension tempers out 15/14 and 21/20, equating 5/4 with 7/6 and 6/5 with 8/7. The 11-limit extension tempers out 12/11 and 33/32. The original 5-limit is basically the 3-limit music of 2edo with the addition of harmonic 5 represented by an independent generator.

Alteraugment

Alteraugment tempers out the Pythagorean minor third (32/27). It is like augmented, but the period represents 4/3 instead of 5/4, and the generator in turn provides 5/4 instead of 3/2. Its ploidacot is triploid acot. Vector Graphics suggests the name kinsborough for this temperament.

Quint

Quint preserves the 5-limit mapping of 5edo, and harmonic 7 is mapped to an independent generator. As harmonic 7 is already quite accurately approximated by 5edo for its size, this temperament provides little improvement, so it is only provided below for bookkeeping purposes. It would make much more sense to, for example, preserve the 2.3.7-subgroup structure of 5edo and give prime 5 an independent generator instead, which is exactly what blackwood does.

Codex

See also: Bug family

Codex was named by Jerdle as an abbreviation of "co-decimal", as it resembles decimal in many ways, but exchanges the roles of 5's and 7's. While decimal equates 8/7 and 7/6, as well as 6/5 and 5/4, this equates 10/9 and 6/5, as well as 7/6 and 9/7. It is an extension of bug and mujannabic in the same way decimal is of semaphore and dicot. Its ploidacot is diploid dicot.
