Tridecapyth comma: Difference between revisions

=== Tridecapyth ===

{{ See also | No-fives subgroup temperaments#Temperaments with a 2.3.13 gene }}

Tempering out this comma in the 2.3.13 subgroup leads tridecapyth, which can be seen as a way of giving a mapping of prime 13 to any temperament with an extremely accurate tuning of its fifth (like the [[53edo]] tuning of [[schismic]]). Interestingly, the mapping is ''so'' accurate that more optimized tuning of schismic that use a flatter fifth are not accurate enough to preserve the mapping; for 118edo we get the 118f [[val]] that takes the second-best, flat mapping of prime 13, and the same is true for [[171edo]] where we get the 171f val. However, due to its small note count, [[41edo]] technically uses this mapping too, so that the val sum 41 + 53 = [[94edo]] also uses this mapping, suggesting it's of interest to flatter tunings of [[garibaldi]] with fifths tending close to pure; this corresponds to the extension of garibaldi called [[cassandra]]. If we add this mapping to 5-limit schismic instead we get [[tridecaschismic]].
