Equivalently, the generator could be a semifourth, two of which make a [[4/3]], so '''omega-dicot''' means the same thing and is unused. | ||

Alpha-dicot temperaments usually generate the [[5L 4s]] MOS structure, named "semiquartal" after the semifourth generator, as well as the child scale [[5L 9s]]. Alpha-dicot temperaments tend to involve interseptimal intervals, which are in between conventional diatonic intervals. | Alpha-dicot temperaments usually generate the [[5L 4s]] MOS structure, named "semiquartal" after the semifourth generator, as well as the child scale [[5L 9s]].
