[[Temperaments]] can appear in '''families''' or '''clans'''. As one would expect, clans have more members and are more ramified than families.  
'''Temperament families''' and '''clans''' are ways to organize [[regular temperament]]s. A temperament family starts with a full [[Harmonic limit|prime-limit]] temperament which tempers out a comma alone, and includes [[extension]]s of it. A temperament clan is similar to a temperament family but it starts with a [[subgroup]] temperament instead.  
 
The technical difference can be found in the characteristics of the tempered-out comma(s).
