Original Wikitext content:
LucyTuning is the meantone tuning advocated by [[Charles Lucy]], with a fifth of precisely 600 + 300/pi = 695.493 cents. This is close to the [[88edo]] fifth of 695.455 cents, and shares its general characteristics such as being a good tuning for [[Meantone family|mothra]] and [[Didymus rank three family|eupterpe]] temperaments, providing a mothra generator, an approximate 8/7, of 200+100/pi cents, which extends [[5-limit]] meantone LucyTuning to a version with a mothra (1/3 meantone fifth) generator. As a tuning for 5-limit meantone, it has the softer quality characteristic of the flatter fifth meantones between [[50edo]] and [[19edo]]. It has a major third of 1200/Pi cents, or 1/pi of an octave, 381.972 cents, 4.342 cents flat of 5/4. A reasonable mapping for [[11-limit]] extended LucyTuning would be <1200 1800+300/pi 2400+1200/pi 3400-100/pi 400 (11 pi - 2)/pi| This tempers out the mothra commas of 81/80, 1029/1024, 99/98 and 385/384. While Charles Lucy himself does not seem to consider the possibility of extending LucyTuning, it should be noted that the mothra mapping above gives a 7/4 of 1000-100/pi, a mere 0.659 cents flat of a just 7/4. Another way to extend LucyTuning is meanpop: <1200 1800+300/pi 2400+1200/pi 2400+3000/pi 300 (18 pi - 13)/pi| Since this does not involve splitting the generator into thirds it is closer to Lucy's 5-limit perspective.
