This is close to the [[88edo]] fifth of 695.455 cents, and shares its general characteristics such as being a good tuning for [[Meantone family|mothra]] and [[Didymus rank three family|eupterpe]] temperaments, providing a mothra generator, an approximate 8/7, of 200+100/Pi cents. As a tuning for [[5-limit]] meantone, it has the softer quality characteristic of the flatter fifth meantones between [[50edo]] and [[19edo]]. It has a major third of 1200/Pi cents, or 1/Pi of an octave, 381.972 cents, 4.342 cents flat of 5/4.

A reasonable mapping for [[11-limit]] LucyTuning would be
A reasonable mapping for [[11-limit]] extended LucyTuning would be
&lt;1200 1800+300/pi 2400+1200/pi 3400-100/pi 400 (11 pi - 2)/pi|
&lt;1200 1800+300/pi 2400+1200/pi 3400-100/pi 400 (11 pi - 2)/pi|
This tempers out the mothra commas of 81/80, 1029/1024, 99/98 and 385/384. While Charles Lucy himself does not seem to consider the septimal aspects of LucyTuning, it should be noted that the mothra mapping above gives a 7/4 of 1000-100/pi, a mere 0.659 cents flat of a just 7/4.
