== Well temperament ==

I developed well temperaments on [[12edo|12-et]] and [[17edo|17-et]] which can be seen here. I also tried one on 19-et but gave up for multiple reasons.

Q: Why I gave up developing a 19-wt

A: First, unlike 12- and 17-et with ambiguous major and minor thirds, 19-et's thirds are close enough to 5-limit JI that interpreting them otherwise is like a force. In 12- and 17-et, those intervals can represent different ratios in different keys, while in 19-et they represent the same ratios better or worse in different keys, and I'm not fond of that. Second, the harmonics of 3, 5, 7, and 13 in 19-et are all flat, so there's not much room to operate. Third, the ambiguity of 4\19 and 15\19 is nice and I want them ''ambiguous in every key''.
