The '''compton family''' otherwise known as the '''aristoxenean family''' tempers out the [[Pythagorean comma]], 531441/524288 = {{monzo| -19 12 }}, and hence the fifths form a closed 12-note circle of fifths, identical to [[12edo]]. While the tuning of the fifth will be that of 12edo, two cents flat, the tuning of the larger primes is not so constrained, and the point of these temperaments is to improve on it. | The '''compton family''', otherwise known as the '''aristoxenean family''', tempers out the [[Pythagorean comma]], 531441/524288 = {{monzo| -19 12 }}, and hence the fifths form a closed 12-note circle of fifths, identical to [[12edo]].
