Yer is an octave-reduced [[wikipedia:Euler–Fokker_genus|Euler-Fokker genus]] of 11, 13, 17, and 19. As such it is a 2.11.13.17.19 limit just intonation tuning (ignoring the 3rd, 5th, and 7th harmonics) which is octave-repeating.

Yer is an octave-reduced EFG ([[wikipedia:Euler–Fokker_genus|Euler-Fokker genus]]) of 11, 13, 17, and 19. As such it is a 2.11.13.17.19 limit just intonation tuning (ignoring the 3rd, 5th, and 7th harmonics) which is octave-repeating.

Yer has 16 pitches from the EFG, and 2 additional pitches are optional to include; these pitches are very close to other pitches already in the system (off by comma-sized amounts) and are useful as inflections or points to comma-shift on.

Yer was developed by [[Douglas Blumeyer|Douglas Blumeyer]] as a system to explore the Blumeyer comma, 2432/2431.
