3-limit as in 12edo; intervals of 5 are off by one generator. In the 7-limit (sometimes called waage), intervals of 7 are off by two generators. In the 11-limit, intervals of 11 are off by 3 generators. Thinking of 72edo might make this more concrete. | |||
5-limit compton is also known as ''aristoxenean''. It tempers out the Pythagorean comma and has a period of 1\12, so it is the 12edo circle of fifths with an independent dimension for the harmonic 5. Equivalent generators are 5/4, 6/5, 10/9, 16/15 (the secor), 45/32, 135/128 and most importantly, 81/80. In terms of equal temperaments, it is the 12 & 72 temperament, and [[72edo]], [[84edo]] or [[240edo]] make for good tunings. | 5-limit compton is also known as ''aristoxenean''.
