The [[5-limit|5-limit]] parent [[Comma|comma]] of the [[Meantone|meantone]] family is the Didymus or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntonic_comma syntonic comma], 81/80. This is the one they all temper out. The [[Monzos_and_Interval_Space|monzo]] for 81/80 goes |-4 4 -1&gt;, and that can be flipped around to the corresponding [[Wedgies_and_Multivals|wedgie]], &lt;&lt;1 4 4||, which tells us that the period is an octave, the generator is a fifth, and four fifths go to make up a 5/1 interval.
