Berylic temperament tempers out the [[1874161/1874048]] comma in the 2.11.37 subgroup, representing the fact that [[44/37]] is a [[wikipedia:continued fraction|continued fraction]] convergent to the fourth root of 2. Beryllic is an example of a temperament which has an astronomically low [[badness]] by all metrics (generally several thousands of times lower than most temperaments), being a very high-accuracy [[microtemperament]] with an average level of complexity. The tradeoff | Berylic temperament tempers out the [[1874161/1874048]] comma in the 2.11.37 subgroup, representing the fact that [[44/37]] is a [[wikipedia:continued fraction|continued fraction]] convergent to the fourth root of 2. Beryllic is an example of a temperament which has an astronomically low [[badness]] by all metrics (generally several thousands of times lower than most temperaments), being a very high-accuracy [[microtemperament]] with an average level of complexity. The tradeoff with this temperament, not captured within the metric of badness, is that it is defined within the obscure subgroup 2.11.37. | ||
