Bohpier

Bohpier is a rank-2 temperament which can be described as the Bohlen–Pierce scale with octaves. From this strong relation it derives its name. In this temperament, like in Bohlen–Pierce, 13 generator steps give the 3rd harmonic, 19 give the 5th harmonic, and 23 give the 7th harmonic, tempering out the sensamagic comma (245/243) and the gariboh comma (3125/3087). The only difference is the addition of the period of an octave.

It is a member of sensamagic, gariboh, arcturus, and mirkwai clans, and the extension to the 13-limit tempers out 100/99, 144/143, 196/195, and 275/273.

Possible generators for bohpier include 1\13edt, 1\19ed5, and 1\23ed7. Another excellent tuning for the temperament is 41edo, with generator 5\41. Mos scales of 8, 9, 17, 25, or 33 notes are available.

See Sensamagic clan #Bohpier for technical data.
