For example, small triple amber tempers out (12,-1,0,0,-3) from 2.3.11, making a third-11th pergen. The generator is 11/8. If 11/8 is notated as ^P4, the enharmonic is v<span style="vertical-align: super;">3</span>M2, but if 11/8 is notated as vA4, the enharmonic is ^<span style="vertical-align: super;">3</span>dd2. | For example, small triple amber tempers out (12,-1,0,0,-3) from 2.3.11, making a third-11th pergen.

This is all for single-comma temperaments. Each comma of a multiple-comma temperament also implies an enharmonic, and they may conflict. True double pergens, which are always multi-comma, tend to have multiple notations. For example, the half-everything pergen has 3 possible notations, all equally valid. Even single-split pergens can have multiple commas that imply different enharmonics. | This is all for single-comma temperaments.

Sometimes the temperament implies an enharmonic that isn't even a 2nd. For example, liese is (P8, P11/3), with G = 7/5 = d5. E = 3·d5 - P11 = descending dd3. | |||
