Here are all [[meantone]] tunings that can be written in the form "n-comma meantone", where n is a fraction between -1 and 1 with a denominator 18 or smaller.  
Here are all [[meantone]] tunings that can be written in the form "n-comma meantone", where n is a fraction between -1 and 1 with a denominator 18 or smaller.  


Also included are 7, 12, 17 and 5 [[edo]]s (to delineate [[MOS]] shapes), as well as the other tunings listed under "[[historical temperaments]]" (e.g. 4/25-comma), ''but only the ones of the form "n-comma"''.

All of these tunings are closet to a large enough [[EDO|edo]], but labelling them beyond [[100edo]] would clutter the table.


The comma being divided here is the syntonic comma ([[81/80]]).

This user page is editable by any wiki editor.

As a general rule, most users expect their user space to be edited only by themselves, except for minor edits (e.g. maintenance), undoing obviously harmful edits such as vandalism or disruptive editing, and user talk pages.

However, by including this message box, the author of this user page has indicated that this page is open to contributions from other users (e.g. content-related edits).

Here are all meantone tunings that can be written in the form "n-comma meantone", where n is a fraction between -1 and 1 with a denominator 18 or smaller.

Also included are 7, 12, 17 and 5 edos (to delineate MOS shapes), as well as the other tunings listed under "historical temperaments" (e.g. 4/25-comma), but only the ones of the form "n-comma". All of these tunings are closet to a large enough edo, but labelling them beyond 100edo would clutter the table.

The comma being divided here is the syntonic comma (81/80).

Temperaments that fall outside of the diamond monotone range will not provide most of the advantages that meantone usually provides, but they are included for completeness.

Dozens of tunings on the table are significant to negative harmony temperament theory, enough that labelling them all individually would clutter the table.
