I see you have an EP labeled as using this undocumented temperament. Your link points to Graham's temperament finder, but I don't see the name in the database. So I wonder what this temperament is. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 12:08, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

:The temperament isn't in Graham Breed's temperament finder. I found it in the list of rank-2 temperaments in Scala. Almost one year ago I was so bored that I copied that whole list into a personal file and I forgot about the source the months after. When I was composing something in this temperament I was assuming that I had it from Breed's temperament finder, not knowing that it is completely false. I haven't even thought about how wrong I am, and assuming that nobody was pointing it out, another person hasn't either. All I know is, that the generator is around 496 cents wide. Using xencalc, I assumed the ratio being 8192/6151. The same case goes with the temperament I called by myself "Helayo". The temperament is actually called "Golden Hemimeantone-Lala-Yoyo & Zozo" in Scala's list, but it isn't documented in Breed's temperament finder. Neither in its original name, nor in the name I gave it because the original name being too long for me. I assumed the ratio of the generator being 2048/1771. The name Helayo actually derived from it's original name, I just took the first syllables of the name, ignoring the words "golden" and "& Zozo". Because of these temperaments being basically undocumented, I left them unmentioned in any rank-2 tables. Just because I fool around in my compositions and in naming them, EPs and albums, doesn't mean, that I want to do it here. I postponed the exploration of never-used temperaments that aren't mentioned practically anywhere because I basically don't know anything about them. I'm so sorry for confusing you. --[[User:Francium|Francium]] ([[User talk:Francium|talk]]) 15:26, 21 October 2023 (UTC)

:: Oh, now I see it's in Scala's list of rank-2 tunings. No wonder the word looked a bit familiar to me. In that case it's not a temperament, only a rank-2 tuning. Perhaps it's a tuning designed for a certain temperament but since you didn't have a temperament in mind it'd be better if we don't label it that. However, "helayo" is a real temperament because "lala-yoyo & zozo" is real temperament. Its optimal tuning is likely very close to "golden hemimeantone" so it's listed together in Scala.
