= Ennealimmal =

[[Ennealimmal]] temperament tempers out the two smallest 7-limit superparticular commas, 2401/2400 and 4375/4374, leading to a temperament of unusual efficiency. It also tempers out the ennealimmal comma, |1 -27 18>, which leads to the identification of (27/25)^9 with the octave, and gives ennealimmal a period of 1/9 octave. While 27/25 is a 5-limit interval, two periods equates to 7/6 because of identification by 4375/4374, and this represents 7/6 with such accuracy (a fifth of a cent flat) that there is no realistic possibility of treating ennealimmal as anything other than 7-limit. Its wedgie is <<18 27 18 1 -22 -34||.

Aside from 10/9 which has already been mentioned, possible generators include 36/35, 21/20, 6/5, 7/5 and the neutral thirds pair 49/40 and 60/49, all of which have their own interesting advantages. Possible tunings are 441, 612, or 3600 EDOs, though its hardly likely anyone could tell the difference.

If 1/9 of an octave is too small of a period for you, you could try generator-period pairs of [3, 5], [5/3, 3], [6/5, 4/3], [4/3, 8/5] or [10/9, 4/3] (for example.) In particular, people fond of the idea of "tritaves" as analogous to octaves might consider the 28 or 43 note MOS with generator an approximate 5/3 within 3; for instance as given by 451/970 of a "tritave". Tetrads have a low enough complexity that (for example) there are nine 1-3/2-7/4-5/2 tetrads in the 28 notes to the tritave MOS, which is equivalent in average step size to a 17 2/3 to the octave MOS.
