There is a partial order on the temperaments of G, given by A≤B iff A⋏B = A and A≤B iff A⋎B = B. Since A⋎G = G, G is the maximal temperament, and since A⋏G^ = G^, G^ is the minimal temperament. In the temperament defined by G, everything is tempered out, and we may also call it <JI>; and in the temperament defined by G^, nothing is tempered out, and we may also call it <1>. A≤B may be expressed by "A is supported by B". | There is a partial order on the temperaments of G, given by A≤B iff A⋏B = A and A≤B iff A⋎B = B.
