While searching for temperaments with period 7/4 and generator 3/2 I found that -8 generators (117649/104976) provides a close approximation of 9/8. The difference between these intervals is [[118098/117649]], which has apparently already been named the stearnsma. Tempering this comma given mapping generators ~7/4 and ~3/2 gives a pretty nice temperament which is essentially the same as [[Stearnsmic clan|no-five stearnsmic]] with different generators, | While searching for temperaments with period 7/4 and generator 3/2 I found that -8 generators (117649/104976) provides a close approximation of 9/8.

The 17th harmonic can be added by equating [[17/12]] and [[24/17]] with the half-octave, tempering [[442/441]] and the 13th harmonic can be added by equating [[27/26]] and [[28/27]], tempering [[729/728]]. This provides a [[comma basis]] of 442/441, 729/728, and 289/288. | |||
