The 7-limit children of 81/80 are septimal meantone, with normal comma list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |-13 10 0 -1&gt;], flattone, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |-17 9 0 1&gt;], dominant, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |6 -2 0 -1&gt;], injera, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |-7 8 0 -2&gt;], mohajira, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |-23 11 0 2&gt;], godzilla, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |-4 -1 0 2&gt;], mothra, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |-10 1 0 3&gt;], and squares, with normal list [|-4 4 -1&gt;, |-3 9 0 -4&gt;].

===Septimal meantone===
The comma |-13 10 0 -1&gt; for septimal meantone tells us that the interval class for 7 is 10 generator steps up. Hence, the 7/4 of septimal meantone is the augmented sixth, C-A#, and other septimal intervals are 7/6, C-D#, the augmented second, and 7/5, C-F#, the tritone. The [[Wedgies and Multivals|wedgie]] for septimal meantone is &lt;&lt;1 4 10 4 13 12||, again telling us how to get to 5 and 7 in terms of generator steps. The temperament, aside from what is on the normal list, tempers out 126/125 and 225/224, and [[31edo]] is a good tuning for it.

The temperament, aside from what is on the normal list, tempers out 126/125 and 225/224, and [[31edo]] is a good tuning for it.


===Flattone===
Similarly for flattone, the wedgie is &lt;&lt;1 4 -9 4 -17 -32||, which tells us among other things that 9 generator steps of 4/3 get to the interval class for 7, meaning that 7/4 is a diminished minor seventh interval. Other intervals are 7/6, a diminished minor third, and 7/5, a doubly diminshed fifth. Good tunings for flattone are [[26edo]], [[45edo]] and [[64edo]].

Other intervals are 7/6, a diminished minor third, and 7/5, a doubly diminshed fifth. Good tunings for flattone are [[26edo]], [[45edo]] and [[64edo]].


===Dominant===
The wedgie for dominant is &lt;&lt;1 4 -2 4 -6 -16||. Now the interval class for 7 is obtained from two fourths in succession, so that 7/4 is a minor seventh. The 7/6 interval is, like 6/5, now a minor third, and 7/5 is a diminished fifth. An excellent tuning for dominant is [[12edo]], but it also works well with Pythagorean tuning of pure 3/2 fifths, and with [[29edo]], [[41edo]], or [[53edo]].

===Injera===
The wedgie for injera is &lt;&lt;2 8 8 8 7 -4||, which tells us it has a half-octave period and a generator which can be taken as a fifth or fourth, but also as a 15/14 semitone difference between a half-octave and a perfect fifth. Injera tempers out 50/49, equating 7/5 with 10/7 and giving a tritone of half an octave. A major third up from this tritone is the 7/4. [[38edo]], which is two parallel 19edos, is an excellent tuning for injera.
 
===Godzilla===
Godzilla has wedgie &lt;&lt;2 8 1 8 -4 -20||, and tempers out 49/48, equating 8/7 with 7/6. Two of the step-and-a-half intervals these represent give a fourth, and so step-and-a-half generators generate godzilla. [[19edo]] is the perfect godzilla tuning, so much so that's there's not much point in looking elsewhere. Hence it can be more or less equated with taking 4/19 as a generator. Godzilla is not well supplied with good [[MOSScales|MOS scales]], though it has a pentatonic scale which could serve as an alternative to [[5edo]], but other options exist for those wanting to explore it.</pre></div>

IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES

This is an imported revision from Wikispaces. The revision metadata is included below for reference:

The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

The 5-limit parent [[comma]] of the meantone family is the Didymas or [[syntonic comma]], 81/80. This is the one they all temper out. The [[Monzos and Interval Space|monzo]] for 81/80 goes |-4 4 -1>, and that can be flipped around to the corresponding [[Wedgies and Multivals|wedgie]], <<1 4 4||, which tells us that the period is an octave, the generator is a fifth, and four fifths go to make up a 5/1 interval.

==Seven limit children==
The 7-limit children of 81/80 are septimal meantone, with normal comma list [|-4 4 -1>, |-13 10 0 -1>], flattone, with normal list [|-4 4 -1>, |-17 9 0 1>], dominant, with normal list [|-4 4 -1>, |6 -2 0 -1>], injera, with normal list [|-4 4 -1>, |-7 8 0 -2>], mohajira, with normal list [|-4 4 -1>, |-23 11 0 2>], godzilla, with normal list [|-4 4 -1>, |-4 -1 0 2>], mothra, with normal list [|-4 4 -1>, |-10 1 0 3>], and squares, with normal list [|-4 4 -1>, |-3 9 0 -4>].

===Septimal meantone===
The comma |-13 10 0 -1> for septimal meantone tells us that the interval class for 7 is 10 generator steps up. Hence, the 7/4 of septimal meantone is the augmented sixth, C-A#, and other septimal intervals are 7/6, C-D#, the augmented second, and 7/5, C-F#, the tritone. The [[Wedgies and Multivals|wedgie]] for septimal meantone is <<1 4 10 4 13 12||, again telling us how to get to 5 and 7 in terms of generator steps. The temperament, aside from what is on the normal list, tempers out 126/125 and 225/224, and [[31edo]] is a good tuning for it.

===Flattone===
Similarly for flattone, the wedgie is <<1 4 -9 4 -17 -32||, which tells us among other things that 9 generator steps of 4/3 get to the interval class for 7, meaning that 7/4 is a diminished minor seventh interval. Other intervals are 7/6, a diminished minor third, and 7/5, a doubly diminshed fifth. Good tunings for flattone are [[26edo]], [[45edo]] and [[64edo]].

===Dominant===
The wedgie for dominant is <<1 4 -2 4 -6 -16||. Now the interval class for 7 is obtained from two fourths in succession, so that 7/4 is a minor seventh. The 7/6 interval is, like 6/5, now a minor third, and 7/5 is a diminished fifth. An excellent tuning for dominant is [[12edo]], but it also works well with Pythagorean tuning of pure 3/2 fifths, and with [[29edo]], [[41edo]], or [[53edo]].

===Injera=== 
The wedgie for injera is <<2 8 8 8 7 -4||, which tells us it has a half-octave period and a generator which can be taken as a fifth or fourth, but also as a 15/14 semitone difference between a half-octave and a perfect fifth. Injera tempers out 50/49, equating 7/5 with 10/7 and giving a tritone of half an octave. A major third up from this tritone is the 7/4. [[38edo]], which is two parallel 19edos, is an excellent tuning for injera.

===Godzilla===
Godzilla has wedgie <<2 8 1 8 -4 -20||, and tempers out 49/48, equating 8/7 with 7/6. Two of the step-and-a-half intervals these represent give a fourth, and so step-and-a-half generators generate godzilla. [[19edo]] is the perfect godzilla tuning, so much so that's there's not much point in looking elsewhere. Hence it can be more or less equated with taking 4/19 as a generator. Godzilla is not well supplied with good [[MOSScales|MOS scales]], though it has a pentatonic scale which could serve as an alternative to [[5edo]], but other options exist for those wanting to explore it.

<!-- ws:start:WikiTextHeadingRule:4:&lt;h3&gt; --><h3 id="toc2"><a name="x-Seven limit children-Flattone"></a><!-- ws:end:WikiTextHeadingRule:4 -->Flattone</h3>
Similarly for flattone, the wedgie is &lt;&lt;1 4 -9 4 -17 -32||, which tells us among other things that 9 generator steps of 4/3 get to the interval class for 7, meaning that 7/4 is a diminished minor seventh interval. Other intervals are 7/6, a diminished minor third, and 7/5, a doubly diminshed fifth. Good tunings for flattone are <a class="wiki_link" href="/26edo">26edo</a>, <a class="wiki_link" href="/45edo">45edo</a> and <a class="wiki_link" href="/64edo">64edo</a>.<br />

<!-- ws:start:WikiTextHeadingRule:6:&lt;h3&gt; --><h3 id="toc3"><a name="x-Seven limit children-Dominant"></a><!-- ws:end:WikiTextHeadingRule:6 -->Dominant</h3>
The wedgie for dominant is &lt;&lt;1 4 -2 4 -6 -16||. Now the interval class for 7 is obtained from two fourths in succession, so that 7/4 is a minor seventh. The 7/6 interval is, like 6/5, now a minor third, and 7/5 is a diminished fifth. An excellent tuning for dominant is <a class="wiki_link" href="/12edo">12edo</a>, but it also works well with Pythagorean tuning of pure 3/2 fifths, and with <a class="wiki_link" href="/29edo">29edo</a>, <a class="wiki_link" href="/41edo">41edo</a>, or <a class="wiki_link" href="/53edo">53edo</a>.<br />

<!-- ws:start:WikiTextHeadingRule:8:&lt;h3&gt; --><h3 id="toc4"><a name="x-Seven limit children-Injera"></a><!-- ws:end:WikiTextHeadingRule:8 -->Injera</h3>
 The wedgie for injera is &lt;&lt;2 8 8 8 7 -4||, which tells us it has a half-octave period and a generator which can be taken as a fifth or fourth, but also as a 15/14 semitone difference between a half-octave and a perfect fifth. Injera tempers out 50/49, equating 7/5 with 10/7 and giving a tritone of half an octave. A major third up from this tritone is the 7/4. <a class="wiki_link" href="/38edo">38edo</a>, which is two parallel 19edos, is an excellent tuning for injera.<br />

<!-- ws:start:WikiTextHeadingRule:10:&lt;h3&gt; --><h3 id="toc5"><a name="x-Seven limit children-Godzilla"></a><!-- ws:end:WikiTextHeadingRule:10 -->Godzilla</h3>
Godzilla has wedgie &lt;&lt;2 8 1 8 -4 -20||, and tempers out 49/48, equating 8/7 with 7/6. Two of the step-and-a-half intervals these represent give a fourth, and so step-and-a-half generators generate godzilla. <a class="wiki_link" href="/19edo">19edo</a> is the perfect godzilla tuning, so much so that's there's not much point in looking elsewhere. Hence it can be more or less equated with taking 4/19 as a generator. Godzilla is not well supplied with good <a class="wiki_link" href="/MOSScales">MOS scales</a>, though it has a pentatonic scale which could serve as an alternative to <a class="wiki_link" href="/5edo">5edo</a>, but other options exist for those wanting to explore it.</body></html>
