'''Hemififths''' is the [[ | '''Hemififths''' is a [[regular temperament|temperament]] that uses a neutral third as a [[generator]], just as the name suggests. A stack of 13 generators represents [[7/4]] and a stack of 25 generators represents [[5/4]], [[tempering out]] the breedsma, [[2401/2400]], and the hemifamity comma, [[5120/5103]]. It extends fairly naturally to the 11- and 13-limit by treating the generator as [[11/9]][[~]][[16/13]]. The no-5 subgroup [[restriction]], called '''hemif''', is also notable. Possible tunings include [[41edo|41-]], [[58edo|58-]], and [[99edo]]. | ||
