===[[Dicot family]]===
===[[Dicot family]]===
The dicot family is a low-accuracy family of temperaments which temper out the chromatic semitone, [[25/24]] (the difference between 5/4 and 6/5, or alternatively the difference between two 5/4's and 3/2 OR two 6/5's and 3/2). This temperament hence equates major and minor thirds, evening them out into two neutral-sized intervals that are taken to approximate both. [[7o|7edo]] makes for a "good" dicot tuning, although it is questionable whether this temperament bears any actual resemblance to 5-limit harmony. Two of the "neutral" dicot 3rds span a 3/2. Tunings include [[7edo]], [[10edo]], and [[17edo]].
