'''Pontiac''' is a 7-limit (and higher) [[temperament]] of the [[Schismatic family #Pontiac|schismatic family]]. It is an extension of [[Helmholtz (temperament)|helmholtz]] temperament beyond the 5-limit but with the same simple chain-of-fifths structure (so that standard notation may be used). As in helmholtz temperament, [[5/4]] is mapped to the diminished fourth (e.g. C-F♭), and the new mapping specific to pontiac is that [[7/4]] is mapped to the quintuple augmented third (e.g. C-Exx#). This makes pontiac a [[Ragismic microtemperaments|ragismic temperament]].

This makes pontiac a [[Ragismic microtemperaments|ragismic temperament]]. An excellent tuning for pontiac is [[171edo]], and [[MOS]]es of size 12, 17, 29, 41, 53, 65, and 118 are available.


Immediate 11-limit extensions include ''helenoid'' (53 & 65), mapping 11/8 to -30 fifths, ''ponta'' (53 & 171), mapping 11/8 to -83 fifths, and ''pontic'' (118 & 171), mapping 11/8 to +88 fifths.
