A third important temperament that 22edo supports is [[pajara]]. In the 5-limit, [[2048/2025]] (diaschisma) is tempered out, meaning that the 5-limit tritones are equated to one another and to the [[semioctave]]. This means that 3/2 is a semioctave away from 16/15, and 5/4 is a semioctave away from 16/9. In the 7-limit, [[50/49]] (jubilisma) is tempered out, meaning that the tritones [[7/5]] and [[10/7]] are equated to the semioctave, and consequently 64/63 is tempered out as in superpyth - 5/4 is a semioctave away from 7/4. Since 50/49 is tempered out, the 25/24 and 49/48 intervals are equated to a single interval, and it functions as a chroma in the [[2L 8s]] MOS. This suggests the use of a decatonic notation system, where 7/6 and 8/7 are the same number of scale degrees, and 7/4 is a major interval. Thus the [[4:5:6:7|1–5/4–3/2–7/4]] major tetrad has 5/4 and 7/4 as major intervals, and replacing them with the corresponding minor intervals gives us the [[70:84:105:120|1–6/5–3/2–12/7]] harmonic sixth chord or minor tetrad. Pajara temperament is also supported by [[12edo]], as it also tempers out 50/49 and 64/63. | A third important temperament that 22edo supports is [[pajara]].

The decatonic scales of pajara have been considered by many to be a system in the 7-limit analogous to the diatonic scale of meantone temperament in the 5-limit | The decatonic scales of pajara have been considered by many to be a system in the 7-limit analogous to the diatonic scale of meantone temperament in the 5-limit, as described in Paul Erlich's paper [http://sethares.engr.wisc.edu/paperspdf/Erlich-22.pdf Tuning, Tonality and 22-Tone Temperament]. | ||
