Euler(Benedetti(c)) generates a JI group, which can be found by reducing it to a [[Normal lists#x-Normal interval lists|normal interval list]]. This group is characteristic of the comma, and is the group on which tempering by the comma takes place. For instance, Euler(Benedetti(225/224)) generates 2.3.5.7, the full 7-limit group, and tempering it out leads to a rank three temperament, marvel. However, Euler(Benedeti(3136/3125)) generates 2.5.7, and tempering it out generates a rank-two temperament of the 2.5.7 [[Just intonation subgroups|JI subgroup]], with mapping [&lt;1 0 -3|, &lt;0 2 5|] and an approximate 28/25 generator, which might be called 7-limit [[Chromatic pairs#Roulette|roulette]] temperament.
