Hopefully the distinction between temperament and tuning is clearer now

'''Sensi''', in this article, is the rank-2 regular temperament defined by tempering out [[245/243]], [[126/125]], and [[91/90]].
'''Sensi''', in this article, is the rank-2 regular temperament for the 2.3.5.7.13 subgroup defined by tempering out [[245/243]], [[126/125]], and [[91/90]].


It can be seen as implying a rank-2 tuning for the 2.3.5.7.13 subgroup which is [[generator|generated]] by an extremely sharp major third of about 443 cents which represents both [[9/7]] and [[13/10]]. It is so named because the generator is a "semisixth": two generators make a major sixth which approximates [[5/3]], which cannot occur in [[12edo]]. Equal temperaments that support sensi include [[19edo]] (generator 7\19; [[soft]] [[sensoid]]), [[27edo]] (generator 10\27; [[supersoft]] sensoid), and [[46edo]] (generator 17\46; L/s = 7/5, more optimized for sensi temperament).
