Rework the intro to avoid implying causality among its characteristics. Clarify that "minor sixth", "minor third" are interval qualities

'''Beep''' is a remarkable low-complexity, though high-badness [[7-limit]] [[temperament]]. It is also called '''titanium''' by [[Mason Green]]. It [[tempering out|tempers out]] the [[21/20|septimal minor semitone (21/20)]], making it a [[septisemi temperaments|septisemi temperament]], and the [[49/48|slendro diesis (49/48)]], making it part of the [[slendro clan]]. As such, [[6/5]], [[7/6]], and [[8/7]] are all represented by the same interval (which, in fact, is the [[generator]]). Two of these generators make a very sharp [[4/3|fourth]] (which is also a very flat [[7/5]]). Since three fifths make a minor (not major) sixth, and four make a minor (not major) third, it is also similar to the [[pelogic]] temperament ([[superpelog]] in particular). It also tempers out [[27/25]] and is part of the [[bug family]]; because of this, the generator also functions as [[10/9]] (meaning this tuning has a ''negative'' syntonic comma). Finally it can be also considered a sort of messed-up variant of [[orwell]] temperament as well, since the generator falls into the same range of sizes.

Two fifths make a second that is neutral in [[interval quality|quality]], so a good tuning typically has a ''negative'' [[syntonic comma]]. Since three fifths make a sixth that sounds minor, and four make a third that sounds minor, it is also similar to the [[pelogic]] temperament ([[superpelog]] in particular). Finally it can be also considered a sort of messed-up variant of [[orwell]] temperament as well, since the generator falls into the same range of sizes.


The edos whose [[patent val]]s support beep are [[4edo]], [[5edo]], [[9edo]], and [[14edo]]. Many other edos can be used as non-patent vals, such as 13.
