'''Garibaldi temperament''' is a 7-limit (and higher) temperament of the [[Schismatic family #Garibaldi|schismatic family]]. It is an extension of [[helmholtz]] temperament beyond the 5-limit but with the same simple chain-of-fifths structure (so that standard notation may be used). As in helmholtz temperament, [[5/4]] is mapped to the diminished fourth (e.g. A-D♭), and the new mapping specific to garibaldi is that [[7/4]] is mapped to the double diminished octave (e.g. A-Abb). This makes garibaldi a [[Marvel temperaments|marvel temperament]].

Immediate 11-limit extensions include ''cassandra'' (41&53), mapping 11/8 to +23 fifths, ''andromeda'' (29&41), mapping 11/8 to -18 fifths, and ''helenus'' (53&65d), mapping 11/8 to -30 fifths.

== Notation ==
Using garibaldi can be a challenge because it defies the tradition of tertian harmony in [[circle-of-fifths notation]]. The just major triad on C is C-Fb-G, for example. One may want to adopt an additional module of accidentals such as arrows to represent the comma step, allowing them to write the chord above as C-vE-G.
