== Temperament Names ==

Temperaments are named after the color of the comma(s) they temper out. ~~[[Meantone]] = the gu temperament = gT~~. ~~[[Porcupine]] = triple yo temperament = y3T~~. ~~[[Porcupine family|7-limit Porcupine]] =~~ triple ~~yo and ru = y3&rT. Each variety of porcupine has a different name~~, ~~thus color names provide more information than standard temperament names. Both porcupines have the same [[pergen]]~~, ~~(P8~~, ~~P4/3)~~, ~~thus pergens group together similar temperaments~~.

Temperaments are named after the color of the comma(s) they temper out. Many words are abbreviated. Large becomes '''la''' and small becomes '''sa'''. Double, triple, etc, become bi-, tri-, quad- and quin-.

~~The magnitude is part of the name:~~ [[~~Schismatic~~]] ~~is LyT and~~ [[Diaschismic]] is sggT. ~~The degree is usually omitted~~, ~~and is always omitted if the comma is ≤ 90¢~~.

[[Meantone]] = the Gu temperament = gT. [[Diaschismic]] = Sagugu = sggT. [[Porcupine]] = Triyo = y3T. [[Porcupine family|7-limit Porcupine]] = Triyo and Ru = y3&rT. Each variety of porcupine has a different name, thus color names provide more information than standard temperament names.

~~Many words are abbreviated. Large becomes~~ '''~~la''' and small becomes '''sa~~'''. ~~Double, triple, etc, become bi-, tri-, quad- and quin-~~. ~~Higher multipliers: 6 = tribi-, 7 = '''sep-''', 8 = quabi-, 9 = tritri- and 10 = quinbi-~~. ~~Higher primes use their color word, but with the suffix '''-e''' for exponent~~. ~~Thus 11-fold becomes '''le-''' ("leh"), 13-fold becomes '''the-''' (unvoiced "th"),17 = '''se-''' (not to be confused~~ with ~~sep-), 19 = '''ne-''', 23~~ = ~~'''twenty-the-''', etc. See the [[Comma]] lists for examples~~.

Untempered primes can be included with '''plus'''. The 2.3.5.7 subgroup with 81/80 tempered out is g+zT = gu plus za.

If the comma is wa, an edo is implied. The temperament is named after the edo, not the wa comma. 2.3.5.7 and the pyth comma and 225/224 is 12edo&ryyT. If the comma(s) don't include every prime in the subgroup, some primes are untempered. These primes are added with '''plus''': [[Blackwood]] is 5edo+yT = 5-edo plus ya. The 2.3.5.7.11 subgroup with 81/80 tempered out is g+z1aT = gu plus zala.

See the [[Comma]] lists for more examples. Temperament names are further explained here: [[Color notation/Temperament Names]].

~~The temperament name indicates the prime subgroup and the rank of the temperament. For example, ryyT (~~[[~~Marvel~~]]) is rank-3 because it has 2 explicit colors ru and yo and 2 implicit colors wa and clear, and 4 colors minus 1 comma = rank-3. Edos count as commas, but plusses don't. Both 12edo&ryyT and 5edo+yT are rank-2. Primes 2 and 3 are assumed present in the temperament even if they are not present in the comma. Biruyo is rank-3 and biruyo nowa is rank-2.

Rank-2 temperaments can be notated with ups and downs as well. Plain and mid are also used in this context. Some temperaments require an additional pair of virtual colors, '''lifts''' and '''drops''' (/ and \). Notes are named lift C = /C, downdrop F sharp = v\F#, etc. Intervals are named drop 4th = \4, uplift major 3rd = ^/M3, etc. Plain means neither up nor down nor lifted nor dropped. There may be upmid or liftmid intervals. Chords are named C-up lift-seven = C^,/7 = C ^E G /Bb, C uplift-seven = C^/7 = C ^/E G ^/Bb, etc. See [[Pergen|pergens]].
