A '''well temperament''' is a [[circulating temperament]] where some but not all of the intervals in a class are tuned the same. It is intermediate between an equal temperament, where all of the intervals in the class are tuned the same, and a [[MOS scale]], where for a class containing a generator all but one of the intervals are tuned the same.
