“Septimal temperament”?
The name “septimal” doesn’t seem like a very good name for a temperament. It could be very confusing.
(I got confused by it for a minute and was wondering how there could be two different 7-limit versions of jamesbond and why one of them included the 11th and 13th harmonics despite calling itself septimal - and then I finally realised “septimal” was just the temperament’s name.)
Is everyone happy to keep this name or do we want to change it? (Maybe we could change it to “austinpowers”, “jasonbourne” or “goldfinger”?)
