	'''BPS''' (for ''Bohlen–Pierce–Stearns'') is a [[non-octave]] [[regular temperament\|temperament]] in the 3.5.7 [[subgroup]] generated by a sharp [[~]][[9/7]] (or equivalently a flat ~[[7/3]]), [[tempering out]] the sensamagic comma ([[245/243]]) so that a stack of two generators represents [[5/3]] in addition to 81/49. This generates a [[mos scale]] of {{sl\|4L 5s}} against the tritave, known as the Bohlen–Pierce ''Lambda'' scale. The "canonical" tuning for the generator is [[13edt\|3\13edt]], representing the equal-tempered [[Bohlen–Pierce]] scale, but a range of other tunings are valid, including [[17edt\|4\17edt]], [[30edt\|7\30edt]], and [[43edt\|10\43edt]].
