Many [[regular temperaments]] documented on the wiki are accompanied with an '''optimal GPV sequence'''. This gives [[generalized patent val]]s (GPVs) for [[equal temperament]]s which support the temperament, where each subsequent GPV included improves upon the [[TE error]] of the previous GPV.  
Many [[regular temperaments]] documented on the wiki are accompanied with an '''optimal ET sequence''', which suggests some useful [[equal tuning]]s to tune the temperament as well as [[mos scale]]s available. Technically, it gives [[generalized patent val]]s (GPVs) for [[equal temperament]]s which [[support]] the temperament, where each subsequent GPV included improves upon the [[TE error]] of the previous GPV, though no standard beginning cutoff to the list has been specified.


No standard beginning cutoff to the list has been specified.
== Computation ==
Optimal ET sequences can be computed by iterating through all GPVs, finding the error of each and comparing it with the last best error value.

Below is an example using [[Flora Canou]]'s [https://github.com/FloraCanou/temperament_evaluator Temperament Evaluator], using the <code>et_sequence</code> function from <code>te_equal.py</code>. Here is how the optimal ET sequence for [[No-threes subgroup temperaments #Yer_.28rank_3.29|Yer temperament]] was determined, by providing its comma basis and subgroup:
Optimal GPV sequences can be computed using [[Flora Canou]]'s [https://github.com/FloraCanou/temperament_evaluator Temperament Evaluator], using the <code>et_sequence</code> function. For example, here is how the optimal GPV sequence for [[No-threes subgroup temperaments #Yer_.28rank_3.29|Yer temperament]] was determined, by providing its comma basis and subgroup:


<pre>
<syntaxhighlight lang="python">
import et_sequence_error as ete
import numpy as np
import numpy as np
from lib.te_common import Subgroup
from lib.te_equal import et_sequence


ete.et_sequence_error(np.array([[7,-4],[-1,1],[-1,-1],[-1,0],[1,1]]), subgroup=[2,11,13,17,19])
et_sequence(np.column_stack([[7, -1, -1, -1, 1], [-4, 1, -1, 0, 1]]), subgroup=Subgroup ([2, 11, 13, 17, 19]))
</pre>
</syntaxhighlight>


Which produces the list: 13, 24, 33, 37, 46, 57, 70, 127.
