The "proper" Jacobin temperament in 1789edo, the maximum evenness scale that uses 822 as a generator, contains only 37 notes. The step sizes are 48 and 49, making them indistinguishable to human ear at this scale. This can be fixed by using divisors of 822 as a generaator, for example 137\1789 "6th root of 11/8" temperament having 222 notes. In addition, this can be re-interpreted by using 13/10 as a generator instead which produces a more vibrant 1205 out of 1789, and partitioning the resulting 13/5s in three around the octave. | The "proper" Jacobin temperament in 1789edo, the maximum evenness scale that uses 822 as a generator, contains only 37 notes.

Addition of 29 and 31 harmonic intervals may also be suitable to spice up an otherwise monotonous scale. | Addition of 29 and 31 harmonic intervals may also be suitable to spice up an otherwise monotonous scale. | ||
