The augmented triad doesn't involve 128/125 at all: it stacks only two major thirds, which together reach an augmented fifth. Augmented temperament equates an “augmented seventh” with the octave, but note that an “augmented seventh chord” has a different established meaning (a chord with an augmented fifth and minor seventh).

“Augmented” is an awful name
The name of this temperament family stomps on a well-established musical term that means something entirely different. It introduces needless ambiguity in phrases like “augmented triad”, “augmented fifth”, and “augmented seventh chord”. This temperament family should be renamed to something less confusing to allow the mainstream terminology to remain unambiguous. Bcmills (talk) 05:29, 21 August 2024 (UTC)
- This temperament family was so named exactly for how the augmented triad in mainstream (12edo) works, as besides that the fifth is of the "augmented" interval quality, this chord requires mapping the major third to 1/3 of the octave.
The augmented triad doesn't involve 128/125 at all: it stacks only two major thirds, which together reach an augmented fifth. Augmented temperament equates an “augmented seventh” with the octave, but note that an “augmented seventh chord” has a different established meaning (a chord with an augmented fifth and minor seventh).
