The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

A //circulating temperament// is a [[Periodic scale|periodic scale]] with the property that for at least one [[interval class]], all of the intervals in the class can be regarded as approximations of a single just interval, but which is not an equal temperament. In the best known examples, the interval approximated is a fifth and the scale has twelve notes to an octave.

A circulating temperament is intermediate between an equal temperament, where all of the intervals in the class are tuned the same, and a MOS scale, where for a class containing a generator all but one of the intervals are tuned the same.
