A rank three temperament is a [[regular temperament]] with three generators. If one of the generators can be an octave, it is called a planar temperament, though the word is sometimes applied to any rank three temperament. The octave classes of notes of a planar temperament can be embedded in a plane as a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_%28group%29|lattice]], hence the name. The most elegant way to put a Euclidean metric, and hence a lattice structure, on the pitch classes of a planar temperament is to orthogonally project onto the subspace perpendicular to the space determined by 2 and the commas of the temperament. To do this we need a Euclidean metric on the space in which p-limit intervals reside as a lattice, and the most expeditious and theoretically justifiable choice of such a metric seems to be [[Monzos and Interval Space|Euclidean interval space]]. | A rank three temperament is a [[regular temperamentd|regular temperament]] with three generators.
