Harry becomes much more interesting as we move to the 11-limit, where we can add 243/242, 441/440 and 540/539 to the set of commas. 130 and especially 202 still make for good tuning choices, and the octave part of the wedgie is <<12 34 20 30 ...||. | Harry becomes much more interesting as we move to the 11-limit, where we can add 243/242, 441/440 and 540/539 to the set of commas. 130 and especially 202 still make for good tuning choices, and the octave part of the wedgie is <<12 34 20 30 ...||. | ||

In addition to 2401/2400, quasiorwell tempers out 29360128/29296875 = |22 -1 -10 1>. It has a wedgie <<38 -3 8 -93 -94 27||. It has a generator 1024/875, which is 6144/6125 more than 7/6. It may be described as the 31&270 temperament, and as one might expect, 61/270 makes for an excellent tuning choice. Other possibilities are (7/2)^(1/8), giving just 7s, or 384^(1/38), giving pure fifths. | |||
Adding 3025/3024 extends to the 11-limit and gives <<38 -3 8 64 ...|| for the initial wedgie, and as expected, 270 remains an excellent tuning.</pre></div> | |||
