'''Arcturus''' is the [[rank]]-2 [[regular temperament]] of the 3.5.7 [[subgroup]] that [[tempers out]] the Arcturus comma, [[15625/15309]]. Having an ~[[5/3]] as a generator, this temperament is the application of the [[Pythagorean]] principle of tuning a stack of the next higher prime number and then factoring out powers of the equivalence to [[tritave]] composition. However, a heptatonic [[MOS]] (2L 5s{{angbr|3/1}}) will not suffice to produce an understandable rendition of it because a very close ~5/3 generates a L:s ratio between 4:1 and 5:1, which is beginning to get too lopsided to still be a complete presentation of a temperament. | '''Arcturus''' is the [[rank]]-2 [[regular temperament]] of the 3.5.7 [[subgroup]] that [[tempers out]] the Arcturus comma, [[15625/15309]].
