A similar process is to pick a mos scale with the desired number of tones and a [[step ratio]] close to 1. If the step ratio is [[superparticular]], then it is also a [[maximally even]] scale. In that particular case, the resulting well temperament is not only a detemperament, but also a subset of a finer equal tuning, where individual steps are usually [[comma]]-sized. If the superset of the particular detemperament or deregularization is a fine enough equal tuning, it can have sisters with other ~~'''~~[[superpartient]]~~'''~~ step ratios.

Again, well temperaments designed through detempering could eventually be generalized to any circle of intervals with any equaves.
