-{{Todo|clarify|inline=1|text=It's STILL unclear how a temperament can have a "formal prime" that isn't just its generator - in JI, it's clear what a formal prime is, but this says a "temperament tuning map" is distinct from a generator tuning map.}}
+Each entry of the '''generator tuning map''' gives the size in cents or octaves of a different [[generator]].
-A '''generator tuning map''' is like a (temperament) tuning map, but each entry gives the size in cents or octaves of a different [[generator]], rather than of a [[formal prime]].
 It may be helpful, then, to think of the units of each entry of a generator tuning map as <math>{\large\mathsf{¢}}\small /𝗴</math> (read "cents per generator"), <math>\small \mathsf{oct}/𝗴</math> (read "octaves per generator"), or any other logarithmic pitch unit per generator.
