The '''semaphoresmic clan''' (or '''semaphore family''') [[tempering out|tempers out]] the large septimal diesis, or semaphoresma, [[49/48]], a triprime comma with factors of 2, 3 and 7.  
The '''semaphoresmic clan''' (or '''semaphore family''') of [[regular temperament|temperaments]] [[tempering out|tempers out]] the large septimal diesis, or semaphoresma, [[49/48]], a triprime comma with factors of 2, 3 and 7.
 
This article focuses on rank-2 temperaments. See [[Semaphoresmic family]] for the rank-3 temperament resulting from tempering out 49/48 alone in the full 7-limit.

Semaphore tempers out 49/48, and splits a [[3/1|perfect twelfth]] into two halfs of [[7/4]][[~]][[12/7]], and a [[4/3|perfect fourth]] into two halfs of [[7/6]]~[[8/7]], hence the name ''semaphore'', which sounds like ''semifourth''; its [[ploidacot]] is alpha-dicot. [[19edo]] and [[24edo]] are among the possible edo tunings.

Godzilla adds [[81/80]]. Immunity adds [[2240/2187]]. Helayo adds [[3645/3584]]. Superpelog adds [[135/128]]. Beep adds [[21/20]]. Baba adds [[16/15]]. These all use the same nominal generator as semaphore, though some of them are of very low accuracy.

Decimal adds [[25/24]]. Anguirus adds [[2048/2025]]. Those split the octave in two. Negri adds [[225/224]], splitting the hemifourth in two. Triforce adds [[128/125]], splitting the octave in three. Keemun adds [[126/125]], splitting the hemitwelfth in three. Nautilus adds [[250/243]], splitting the hemifourth in three. Nuke is like nautilus, but adds 3584/3375 instead. Hemidim adds [[648/625]] with a 1/4-octave period. Blacksmith adds [[28/27]], splitting the octave in five. Spell adds [[3125/3072]], splitting the hemitwelfth in five. Hemiripple adds 6561/6250, splitting the hemifourth in five. Finally, semabila adds 28672/28125 and splits an interval of two octaves plus a hemifourth in five.

Godzilla tempers out [[81/80]], equating 9/8 and 10/9, so it finds the prime 5 at a stack of four fifths, as does any temperament in the [[meantone family]]. [[19edo]] is close to being the optimal generator tuning; hence it can be more or less equated with taking 4\19 as a generator. [[Mos scale]]s are of 5, 9, or 14 notes.

Helayo tempers out 3645/3584 and may be thought of as the opposite of godzilla with respect to 19edo. Like godzilla, 19edo's generator is close to the optimum.

Superpelog tempers out 135/128 and finds the prime 5 at a stack of three fourths, as does any temperament in the [[mavila family]]. It may be described as {{nowrap| 9 & 14c }}, with [[23edo]] (23d val) giving a tuning close to the optimum.

This low-accuracy extension tempers out 16/15, so the perfect fifth stands in for ~8/5 as in [[father]].

Negri tempers out the [[negri comma]] in the 5-limit, [[49/48]] and [[225/224]] in the 7-limit. It can be extended naturally to the 2.3.5.7.13 subgroup by adding [[91/90]] to the comma list; this will be discussed below under the title of negra.  
Negri tempers out the [[negri comma]] in the 5-limit, 49/48 and [[225/224]] in the 7-limit. It may be described as {{nowrap| 9 & 10 }}; its ploidacot is omega-tetracot. It can be extended naturally to the 2.3.5.7.13 subgroup by adding [[91/90]] to the comma list; this will be discussed below under the title of negra.

Nuke tempers out 3584/3375 and is the {{nowrap| 14 & 15 }} temperament. It splits the hemifourth into three generators of ~16/15. Its ploidacot is omega-hexacot. [[15edo]] is about as accurate as it can be tuned.
