A substitute harmonic{{idiosyncratic}} is a more complex [[harmonic]] which is used to substitute for a simpler one. | A substitute harmonic{{idiosyncratic}} is a more complex [[harmonic]] which is used to substitute for a simpler one. | ||
For example, you could substitute the 3rd harmonic for the very similar 769th harmonic. By doing this, you could convert a 2.3.5 [[subgroup temperament]] into a 2.769.5 subgroup temperament. Or, you could convert a 3.5.7 [[combination product set]] into a 769.5.7 combination product set | For example, you could substitute the 3rd harmonic for the very similar 769th harmonic.

Why do this? It could allow for a whole array of subtly different harmonic flavours of existing tunings, while preserving their basic melodic and harmonic structure. | Why do this?

You can also substitute a simpler harmonic ''n'' for two more complex harmonics, to make a dual-substitute-n temperament{{idiosyncratic}}. | |||
