A comptonesque temperament (not to be confused with the compton family) is a temperament tempering out the difference between a power of 3 and the nearest power of 2.

Previously unnamed comptonesque temperaments are named after elements of creative projects by Vector. (Besides ntiscifer and tervenna, these are not necessarily permanent names.)

A table of the first 14 comptonesque temperaments follows:

Comma Temperament Size of fifth (assuming just octave)
4/3 Bixby 1200.0 ¢
9/8 Antitonic 600.0 ¢
32/27 Alteraugment 800.0 ¢
256/243 Blackwood 720.0 ¢
2187/2048 Whitewood 685.7 ¢
8192/6561 Alphard 750.0 ¢
19683/16384 Tervenna 666.7 ¢
177147/131072 Yarzon 654.5 ¢
531441/524288 Compton 700.0 ¢
2097152/1594323 Adarion 738.5 ¢
43046721/33554432 Ntiscifer 675.0 ¢
134217728/129140163 Gothic 705.9 ¢
536870912/387420489 Haidomanz 733.3 ¢
1162261467/1073741824 Graywood 694.7 ¢

More complex comptonesque temperaments include:

[46 -29 Mystery 703.4 ¢
[65 -41 Countercomp 702.4 ¢
[84 -53 Mercator 701.9 ¢
