* Temperaments don't actually have a set number of tones per period, you can choose how many tones to generate with a temperament. The categories simply reflect the approximate number of tones per period needed to reach the most important intervals of that temperament. For the purposes of this page, the number of tones required is estimated by the largest number in the mapping minus the second largest, with extra leniency afforded to temperaments with multiple periods per equave. | * Temperaments don't actually have a set number of tones per period, you can choose how many tones to generate with a temperament.

* This page only covers rank-2 temperaments. If you don't know what that means, don't worry. If you're curious here are the [[rank-3 temperament]]s and [[rank-4 temperament]]s pages - but be warned, higher rank temperaments acan be difficult to understand and see much less use than rank-2. | * This page only covers rank-2 temperaments.
