Proposed by Eliora, the name of ''iodine'' is taken from the convention of naming some fractional-octave temperaments after elements, in this case the 53rd chemical element. It can be expressed as the 159 & 742 temperament.  
Proposed by Eliora, the name of ''iodine'' is taken from the convention of naming some fractional-octave temperaments after elements, in this case the 53rd chemical element. It can be expressed as the 159 & 742 temperament. 2 periods + 3 less than 600 cent generators correspond to [[8/5]]. 5 less than 600 cent generators (minus 1 octave) correspond to [[8/7]].
