There is, in general, not a hard rule of naming temperaments, but examples to follow. Nonetheless, it is necessary to clarify about some notable features of the names, which might be otherwise confusing to beginners of RTT. Specifically, a name can be given for a temperament as well as its [[extension]]s. For example, meantone is defined in the 5-, 7-, 11- and 13-limit. Typically, only the best and most obvious extension gets the original name; other extensions get different names. In addition, [[weak extension]]s never get the original name, either, since their structures are very different. | There is, in general, not a hard rule of naming temperaments, but examples to follow.
