Antipyth is the rank-2 temperament of the 5.7.11 subgroup that tempers out 859375/823543.

It is suitable for extremely xenharmonic music where the primes 2 and 3 are both eliminated (hence the name), and where pentave equivalence may be assumed instead of the usual octave equivalence. In antipyth, the generator is a sharp 7/5 and 7 are needed to reach 11/5.

For technical data, see No-twos subgroup temperaments #Antipyth.

Supporting equal-step tunings

19ed5 is the first somewhat accurate ET supporting antipyth, containing the basic tuning of the 5L 9s5/1 MOS, although the 11/5 is still smeary at 1319 cents, a minor ninth rather than a sharp neutral ninth. If the range limitation of ed5s is too restrictive, this temperament can be used with alternative periods such as 11/5 or 11/7.

Etymology

From anti- ("opposite of") and pyth (abbreviation of Pythagorean).
