Bird's eye view of temperaments by accuracy: Difference between revisions
m →Garibaldi: it does seem very subjective as far as i can tell as to which is a better 7-limit system |
m →Garibaldi: merge into one paragraph as the ratio appears on its own at some scales which feels weird/unstylistic |

Garibaldi is arguably the best way to bestow prime 7 upon [[#Schismic]] effectively, at the cost of some accuracy. It uses a slightly sharper fifth that tunes the 5-limit worse, making it no longer a microtemperament. This is done by interpreting (9/8)<sup>3</sup> as [[~]][[10/7]] by tempering out S8/S9 = [[5120/5103]] so that 8/7 and 10/9 are equidistant from 9/8, corresponding to equating S8 = [[64/63]] and S9 = [[81/80]] respectively. This results in a conveniently general tempered comma-sized interval that also represents the [[Pythagorean comma]], which is equal to (9/8)<sup>6</sup> / (2/1). | Garibaldi is arguably the best way to bestow prime 7 upon [[#Schismic]] effectively, at the cost of some accuracy.

[[41edo]] and [[53edo]] are slightly overtempered and undertempered for it respectively, so that [[94edo]] is pretty close to optimal, though it has a (barely) inconsistently flat [[~]][[25/16]] which is unbefitting of schismic. 94 + 41 = [[135edo]] and 94 + 53 = [[147edo]] also support it but with yet more inconsistencies due to the finer gamut, so it's worth checking the "Prime harmonics" tables to see if you're okay with the errors. | ||

Which of 41edo and 53edo do better in the 7-limit depends on how you measure them and who you ask; therefore, a better way of choosing is based on whether you care more about prime 11 or prime 13: | Which of 41edo and 53edo do better in the 7-limit depends on how you measure them and who you ask; therefore, a better way of choosing is based on whether you care more about prime 11 or prime 13: | ||
