** Because the MOS type that a temperament's MOS represents is tuning-dependent, the choice of bright generator can be tuning-dependent. For example, assume you are using approximately but not exactly 700¢ for dominant meantone. Then Dominant[12] is either [[7L 5s]] (if generator < 700¢), in which case the bright generator is the fourth, or [[5L 7s]] (if generator > 700¢), meaning that the bright generator is the fifth. As a result, Dominant[12] 7|4 is ambiguous. | ** Because the MOS type that a temperament's MOS represents is tuning-dependent, the choice of bright generator can be tuning-dependent.

* It's impossible to determine the bright generator in a non-MOS scale like Meantone[8], thus Meantone[8] 5|2 is ambiguous. | * It's impossible to determine the bright generator in a non-MOS scale like Meantone[8], thus Meantone[8] 5|2 is ambiguous. | ||
