Equivalently, the generator could be a semifourth, two of which make a [[4/3]], so '''omega-dicot''' would mean the same thing. However, the preferred term is alpha-dicot. | ||
Alpha-dicot temperaments usually generate the [[5L 4s]] MOS structure, named "semiquartal" after the semifourth generator, as well as the child scale [[5L 9s]]. Alpha-dicot temperaments tend to involve interseptimal intervals, which are in between conventional diatonic intervals. | Alpha-dicot temperaments usually generate the [[5L 4s]] MOS structure, named "semiquartal" after the semifourth generator, as well as the child scale [[5L 9s]].

As the comma is so small, the best tunings are close to just. The semitwelfth is around 951{{c}}, leading to a near-just twelfth. | As the comma is so small, the best tunings are close to just. The semitwelfth is around 951{{c}}, leading to a near-just twelfth. | ||
