The Greek letter omega, proposed by [[User:Godtone|Godtone]], is used for −1. This simplifies the classification of certain temperaments, e.g. porcupine, which instead of beta-tricot can be omega-tricot, as splitting the interval 4/3 into three is arguably more intuitive than splitting the interval 6. This effectively shifts the possible values of shear to -1, 0, 1, …, {{nowrap|(''n'' − 2)}} if ''n'' ≥ 3. | The Greek letter omega, proposed by [[User:Godtone|Godtone]], is used for −1.

Note that omega should only be used with ''n'' ≥ 3. When ''n'' = 1, there is only monocot. When ''n'' = 2, alpha-dicot is preferred over omega-dicot. | Note that omega should only be used with {{nowrap| ''n'' ≥ 3 }}. When {{nowrap| ''n'' {{=}} 1 }}, there is only monocot.
