Meantone is an incredibly efficient temperament for targetting [[5-odd-limit]] harmony whose characteristic is flattening [[3/2]] (the generator) by a few cents. Perhaps unsurprisingly, it was historically the most commonly used temperament. It does this by sacrificing a distinction between [[9/8]] and [[10/9]] so that two "tones" makes [[5/4]], hence its name. | Meantone is an incredibly efficient temperament for targetting [[5-odd-limit]] harmony whose characteristic is flattening [[3/2]] (the generator) by a few cents.
