	By a '''target tuning''' is meant a tuning for a [[regular temperament]] which has been optimized with respect to a set of target [[interval]]s. Usually this set of intervals is derived from a finite set of [[pitch class\|octave-equivalence classes]], and octaves are taken to be pure 2's. Moreover, normally the intervals in question are rational numbers. Below we will make all of these assumptions, and will discuss the two most important target tunings, minimax and least squares.
