Mapping non-uniqueness: clarifying note
Line 174: Line 174:




which technically vanishes the [[meantone comma]] <math>\frac{81}{80}</math> — the main requirement of being a meantone temperament — but it has a period of about 76 ¢ and generator of about 41 ¢, which is pretty strange indeed.

What we can say is that generator form information differentiates these forms of the meantone mapping.<ref>There is a way to represent approximation information without generator form information, which therefore means a data structure which inherently uniquely represents temperaments, and that is a [[multimap]].</ref>
