'''Electra''' is a [[tritave]]-based rank-2 temperament in the 3.5.11.13 subgroup with a generator near [[15/11]] or it's tritave complement 11/5. The name was given by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] in analogy to [[Sirius]], [[Arcturus]], and [[Canopus]] star names. It tempers out the small comma 14641/14625, the amount by which 4 11/5's exceed [[13/11]].  The 11:13:15 triad is a characteristic feature of many Electra scales. It possesses MOS scales of the families [[4L 3s (tritave-equivalent)|4L 3s<3/1>]] and 7L 4s<3/1>.

The 11:13:15 triad is a characteristic feature of many Electra scales and has been proposed by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] as a fundamental sonority for no-2's music due to it's consonance compared to 3:5:7.
