 == Temperaments ==
-/10 is treated as a comma in edos 1, 2, 3, 5, and some very low accuracy temperaments such as [[Very low accuracy temperaments #Antietam|antietam]]. If it is used as a generator instead, it produces [[porcupine]], although it is slightly sharper than the optimal tuning for porcupine and does not fit the 80edo patent val mapping.
+/10 may be treated implicitly as a comma in JI scales that do not find [[11/8]] and [[5/4]] above the same degree, but usually it makes much more sense to use it as a generator, such as the aforementioned very accurate strategy of making it a third of [[4/3]], leading to scales that look like [[porcupine]] but whose harmonies can more accurately be explained in a number of ways depending partially on the exact tempering used. If you use a half-octave period you get [[echidna]], a [[hedgehog]] lookalike that detempers [[100/99]] and [[121/120]] and which efficiently and accurately finds [[11-limit]] and (no-13's) [[17-limit]] harmonies.
