Syntonic–chromatic equivalence continuum: Difference between revisions

Enipucrop corresponds to ''n'' = 3/2 and ''m'' = 3, and can be described as the 6b & 7 temperament. Its name is ''porcupine'' spelled backwards, because that is what this temperament is – it is porcupine, with the generator sharp of 2\7 such that the major and minor thirds switch places. The fifths are very flat, meaning that this is more of a melodic temperament than a harmonic one.

Absurdity corresponds to ''n'' = 7, and can be described as the 77 & 84 temperament, so named because it truly is an absurd temperament. The generator is ~81/80 and the period is ~800/729, which is (10/9) / (81/80).  

Sevond is a fairly obvious temperament; it just equates a stack of seven ~10/9's with ~2/1, hence the period is ~10/9. One generator from 5\7 puts you at ~3/2, two generators from 2\7 puts you at ~5/4. This corresponds to ''n'' = 7/2 and ''m'' = 7/5 and can be described as the 56 & 63 temperament.  

Seville is similar to sevond, but provides a less complex avenue to 5, but this time at the cost of accuracy. One generator from 5\7 puts you at ~3/2, and one generator from 2\7 puts you at ~5/4. This corresponds to ''n'' = 7/3 and ''m'' = 7/4.
