'''Pontiac''' is a [[7-limit]] (and higher) [[regular temperament|temperament]] of the [[schismatic family]]. It is an [[extension]] of [[helmholtz (temperament)|helmholtz]] temperament beyond the [[5-limit]] but with the same simple [[chain of fifths|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]]. An excellent tuning for pontiac is [[171edo]], and [[mos scale]]s of size 12, 17, 29, 41, 53, 65, and 118 are available.

Immediate 11-limit extensions include helenoid ({{nowrap| 53 & 65 }}), mapping 11/8 to -30 fifths, ''ponta'' ({{nowrap| 171 & 224 }}), mapping 11/8 to -83 fifths, and ''pontic'' ({{nowrap| 118 & 171 }}), mapping 11/8 to +88 fifths.
