Amavil Lumatone mappings: Insert Blackwood + Decimal/Lemba Lumatone mappings before this (temporarily moved up for visibility), starting with Bryan Deister's Lumatone mapping for 10edo
Blackwood + Decimal/Lemba Lumatone mappings: Insert Rotated Meantone Lumatone mappings under this (temporarily moved up for visibility -- need to merge with existing section later), starting with Bryan Deister's Lumatone mapping for 88edo; also fix section heading

Since [[10edo]] is a tuning of [[blackwood]], a blackwood mapping can work (although it is not the most efficient in terms of note usage), as demonstrated in [https://bee-swarm-simulator.fandom.com/wiki/Onett_(Developer) Onett]'s [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EZCCjsjgCss ''Stick Bug''] (2019?) – microtonal cover in 10edo by [[Bryan Deister]] (2026). The scale is [[4L 2s]] with a 2:1 step ratio, as in [[decimal]] and [[lemba]] temperaments. The octaves slope up with the rows (as expected for Blackwood) or slightly downwards with the scale, and the range is just under 6 octaves, with the potential for division into multiple manuals (although the upper and lower ones will necessarily be partial or wedge-shaped, depending upon details of the division).

==== 88edo (demonstrated to work but awaiting approval) ====
Since [[88edo]] is too large for the normal Standard Lumatone Mapping for Pythagorean to get all the notes, while the [[7L 2s]] mapping may cause excessive stretching of the fingers for some people, another possibility is to rotate the Lumatone to make the [[5L 2s]] scale (14:9 step ratio) run down-right and down, as demonstrated in {{W|Nobuo Uematsu}}'s [https://www.youtube.com/shorts/d3v6ji8EqQ8 ''The Extreme''] from ''{{W|Final Fantasy VIII}} (1999) – microtonal cover in 88edo by [[Bryan Deister]] (2026). This layout yields just under 2⅛ complete octaves with no missing notes and very few repeated note, although the upper left and lower right corners both have a large number of notes in partial octaves below and above these, due to the lopsidedness of the mapping; if the Lumatone is not rotated, the octaves slope down, but if the Lumatone is rotated 90° left as shown in the video, then the octaves proceed upward with a rightward slant.
