And then the final entry, for 3.5, is <code>8</code>. Again, 5 (i.e. 5/3) is found at one generator, but 3/1 is split into 8 parts by blackwood temperament. So, 1 * 8 = 8. | And then the final entry, for 3.5, is <code>8</code>. Again, 5 (i.e. 5/3) is found at one generator, but 3/1 is split into 8 parts by blackwood temperament. So, 1 * 8 = 8. | ||
For wedgies of temperaments of larger prime subgroups, the number of entries is increased, so a rank-2 temperament of 7-limit JI would have 6 entries, for 2.3, 2.5, 2.7, 3.5, 3.7, and 5.7. Note that the new septimal entries are inserted between the entries for the 5-limit! If it helps, think of arranging all the entries in a grid, where rows represent the first prime, and columns represent the second, and reading them off one by one. | |||
For wedgies of higher-rank temperaments, the number of primes per entry is increased, so that for a rank-3 temperament of the 7-limit, all possible combinations of 3 primes (2.3.5, 2.3.7, 2.5.7, and 3.5.7) would be covered. | |||
