Temperament arithmetic is simplest for temperaments which can be represented by single vectors such as demonstrated in these examples. In other words, it is simplest for temperaments that are either rank-1 (ETs) or nullity-1 (having only a single comma). Because [[grade]] is the generic word for rank and nullity, we could define the minimum grade of a temperament as the minimum of its rank and nullity, and so for convenience in this article we will refer to rank-1 or nullity-1 temperaments as ''min-grade-1'' temperaments. | Temperament arithmetic is simplest for temperaments which can be represented by single vectors such as demonstrated in these examples.

For non-min-grade-1 temperaments, arithmetic gets a little trickier. This is discussed in the [[Temperament_arithmetic#Beyond_min-grade-1 beyond min-grade-1 section]] later. | For non-min-grade-1 temperaments, arithmetic gets a little trickier.
