Added many things, expanded tables, need to format correctly (Is this a unique temperament (family)?)
Line 1: Line 1:
'''Glacier''' is a [[rank-2 temperament]] in the 2.3.13 subgroup that tempers out the comma [[373248/371293]], the amount by which 5 [[13/12]]'s exceed [[3/2]]. In this temperament, 5 generators make ~3/2 and 6 generators make ~13/8. It possesses [[MOS scale]]s of the families [[1L 4s]], [[1L 5s]], [[1L 6s]], [[1L 7s]], [[8L 1s]], and [[9L 8s]], although the 1L 4s and 1L 5s scales usually end up as extremely lopsided. [[17edo]] and [[26edo]] are good tunings for this temperament, but [[94edo]] achieves a much better effect with practically perfect fifths and ~13/8 2 cents off. Glacier has a generator nearly identical to [[Bleu]] despite it tempering out different commas, of which [[17edo]] also offers a good generator.

[[17edo]] and [[26edo]] are good tunings for this temperament, but [[94edo]] achieves a much better effect with practically perfect fifths and ~13/8 2 cents off. The optimal patent val in the 2.3.13 subgroup is [[171edo]]. Glacier has a generator nearly identical to [[Bleu]] despite it tempering out different commas, of which [[17edo]] also offers a good generator.
 
It has extensions to the full [[13-limit]], but they are contrived.
 
The best 2.3.5.13 extension is arguably [[meantone]], adding [[65/64]] and [[81/80]] to the list of tempered commas, of which good edos are [[43edo|43]] and 26. 43 is best in the 2.3.5.13 meantone subgroup.
 
Extensions with 7 and 11 are possible. The generator can be close to a pure 13/12, in which case 7/4 will be extremely accurately tuned +7 gens up, tempering out [[62748517/62705664]]. However, the fifths become quite flat as a result. Thusly, [[26edo]] is an optimal tuning for this extension, which also includes [[flattone]] in the 13-limit.
 
By tempering the [[144/143]], a sharp ~[[11/8]] can be found +4 gens up.
 
The CTE generator of 140.3 reaches a very accurate 39/32 +11 gens up, which can be equated with 11/9 by tempering [[352/351]], becoming a [[majorminth temperament]]. This means that 11/8 is found here +21 gens up, which is quite complex.
