* "Srutan, shrutaric, srutinian" = Resembles diatonic mode names, which makes sense of many levels: | |||
** Meantone and its diatonic modes are a kind of ‘sister tuning’ of srutal due to also being generated by 3/2, having very low complexity but still low badness, and having 12edo as their smallest viable equal tuning | |||
** These temperaments are a compromise between Indian shruti theory and Western diatonic-descended MOS and RTT theory, so it’s fitting for the names to be a hybrid of the two | |||
