::::::: One should be able to compare porcupine with e.g. septimal meantone, magic, or sensi. Not adopting the 7-limit makes that difficult. [[User:FloraC|FloraC]] ([[User talk:FloraC|talk]]) 14:56, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

:::::::: How is it difficult to compare 2.3.5.11 porcupine to 2.3.5.7 meantone?

:::::::: '''Similarities:'''

:::::::: * Porcupine and meantone are both mildly inaccurate

:::::::: * Both porcupine and meantone tend to tune 5/4 sharp

:::::::: * Porcupine and meantone both equate a pair of adjacent superparticular whole-tones

:::::::: * Porcupine and meantone both generate 7-note MOSes

:::::::: * Both porcupine and meantone have a badness of around 0.01.

:::::::: '''Differences:'''

:::::::: * Porcupine is generated by 11/10, while meantone is diatonic

:::::::: * Porcupine exaggerates the syntonic comma to a chromatic semitone, while meantone tempers it out

:::::::: * Porcupine naturally extends to 2.3.5.11, while meantone naturally extends to 2.3.5.7

:::::::: * Porcupine's three odd primes are found adjacent to each other and near +0 gens, while meantone's require significant stacking to reach (especially 7) -- [[User:VectorGraphics|VectorGraphics]] ([[User talk:VectorGraphics|talk]]) 02:34, 17 May 2025 (UTC)
