7-limit myna is naturally found by establishing a structure of thirds, by making [[7/6]] - [[6/5]] - [[49/40]] - [[5/4]] - [[9/7]] all equidistant (the distances between which are [[36/35]], [[49/48]], and [[50/49]]). 11-limit myna then arises from equating this neutral third to [[11/9]]. Myna's characteristic feature is that the pental thirds are tuned outwards so that the chroma between them ([[25/24]]) is twice the size of the interval between the pental and septimal thirds ([[36/35]]), leaving space for a neutral third in between. In that sense, it is opposed to [[keemic temperaments]], where the chroma between the pental thirds is the same as the distance between the pental and septimal thirds.
7-limit myna is naturally found by establishing a structure of thirds, by making [[7/6]][[6/5]][[49/40]][[5/4]][[9/7]] all equidistant (the distances between which are [[36/35]], [[49/48]], and [[50/49]]). 11-limit myna then arises from equating this neutral third to [[11/9]]. Myna's characteristic feature is that the pental thirds are tuned outwards so that the chroma between them ([[25/24]]) is twice the size of the interval between the pental and septimal thirds ([[36/35]]), leaving space for a neutral third in between. In that sense, it is opposed to [[keemic temperaments]], where the chroma between the pental thirds is the same as the distance between the pental and septimal thirds.


In terms of commas tempered, in addition to 126/125, myna adds [[1728/1715]], the orwell comma, and [[2401/2400]], the breedsma. It can also be described as the {{nowrap|27 &amp; 31}} temperament. It has 6/5 as a generator, and [[58edo]] can be used as a tuning, with [[89edo]] being a better one, and fans of round amounts in cents may like [[120edo]]. It is also possible to tune myna with pure fifths by taking 6<sup>1/10</sup> as the generator. Myna extends naturally but with much increased complexity to the 11 and 13 limits.

Nusecond tempers out 2430/2401 and 16875/16807 in addition to 126/125, and may be described as {{nowrap|31 &amp; 70}}. It has a neutral second generator of 49/45, two of which make up a 6/5 minor third since 2430/2401 is tempered out. [[31edo]] can be used as a tuning, or [[132edo]] with a val which is the sum of the [[patent val]]s for 31 and 101. Because 49/45 is flat of 12/11 by only 540/539, nusecond is more naturally thought of as an 11-limit temperament with a combined 12/11 and 11/10 as a generator, tempering out 99/98, 121/120 and 540/539. Because of all the neutral seconds, an exotic Middle Eastern sound comes naturally to nusecond. Mosses of 15, 23, or 31 notes are enough to give fuller effect to the harmony, but the 8-note mos might also be considered from the melodic point of view.

Aside from 126/125, casablanca tempers out the no-threes comma 823543/819200 and also 589824/588245, and may also be described as {{nowrap|31 &amp; 73}}. 74\135 or 91\166 supply good tunings for the generator, and 20- and 31-note mosses are available.
Aside from 126/125, casablanca tempers out the no-threes comma [[823543/819200]] and also [[589824/588245]], and may also be described as {{nowrap| 31 & 73 }}. 74\135 or 91\166 supply good tunings for the generator, and 20- and 31-note mosses are available.


It may not seem like casablanca has much to offer, but peering under the hood a bit harder suggests otherwise. For one thing, the ~35/24 generator is particularly interesting; like 15/14 and 21/20, it represents an interval between one vertex of a [[hexany]] and the opposite vertex, which makes it particularly simple with regard to the cubic lattice of tetrads. For another, if we add 385/384 to the list of commas, 35/24 is identified with 16/11, and casablanca is revealed as an 11-limit temperament with a very low complexity for 11 and not too high a one for 7; we might compare 1, 4, 14, 19, the generator steps to 11, 7, 5 and 3 respectively, with 1, 4, 10, 18, the steps to 3, 5, 7 and 11 in 11-limit meantone.

This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

This page discusses miscellaneous rank-2 temperaments tempering out 126/125, the starling comma or septimal semicomma.

Temperaments discussed in families and clans are:

Since (6/5)3 = 126/125 × 12/7, these temperaments tend to have a relatively small complexity for 6/5. They also possess the starling tetrad, the 6/5–6/5–6/5–7/6 versions of the diminished seventh chord. Since this is a chord of meantone temperament in wide use in Western common practice harmony long before 12edo established itself as the standard tuning, it is actually three stacked minor thirds and an augmented second, contrary to the popular belief that it is four stacked minor thirds.

Myna

For the 5-limit version, see Miscellaneous 5-limit temperaments #Mynic.

7-limit myna is naturally found by establishing a structure of thirds, by making 7/66/549/405/49/7 all equidistant (the distances between which are 36/35, 49/48, and 50/49). 11-limit myna then arises from equating this neutral third to 11/9. Myna's characteristic feature is that the pental thirds are tuned outwards so that the chroma between them (25/24) is twice the size of the interval between the pental and septimal thirds (36/35), leaving space for a neutral third in between. In that sense, it is opposed to keemic temperaments, where the chroma between the pental thirds is the same as the distance between the pental and septimal thirds.

In terms of commas tempered, in addition to 126/125, myna adds 1728/1715, the orwell comma, and 2401/2400, the breedsma. It can also be described as the 27 & 31 temperament. It has 6/5 as a generator, and 58edo can be used as a tuning, with 89edo being a better one, and fans of round amounts in cents may like 120edo. It is also possible to tune myna with pure fifths by taking 61/10 as the generator. Myna extends naturally but with much increased complexity to the 11 and 13 limits.

Nusecond

For the 5-limit version, see Miscellaneous 5-limit temperaments #Nusecond.

Nusecond tempers out 2430/2401 and 16875/16807 in addition to 126/125, and may be described as 31 & 70. It has a neutral second generator of 49/45, two of which make up a 6/5 minor third since 2430/2401 is tempered out. 31edo can be used as a tuning, or 132edo with a val which is the sum of the patent vals for 31 and 101. Because 49/45 is flat of 12/11 by only 540/539, nusecond is more naturally thought of as an 11-limit temperament with a combined 12/11 and 11/10 as a generator, tempering out 99/98, 121/120 and 540/539. Because of all the neutral seconds, an exotic Middle Eastern sound comes naturally to nusecond. Mosses of 15, 23, or 31 notes are enough to give fuller effect to the harmony, but the 8-note mos might also be considered from the melodic point of view.

Casablanca

For the 5-limit version of this temperament, see Miscellaneous 5-limit temperaments #Casablanca.

Aside from 126/125, casablanca tempers out the no-threes comma 823543/819200 and also 589824/588245, and may also be described as 31 & 73. 74\135 or 91\166 supply good tunings for the generator, and 20- and 31-note mosses are available.

It may not seem like casablanca has much to offer, but peering under the hood a bit harder suggests otherwise. For one thing, the ~35/24 generator is particularly interesting; like 15/14 and 21/20, it represents an interval between one vertex of a hexany and the opposite vertex, which makes it particularly simple with regard to the cubic lattice of tetrads. For another, if we add 385/384 to the list of commas, 35/24 is identified with 16/11, and casablanca is revealed as an 11-limit temperament with a very low complexity for 11 and not too high a one for 7; we might compare 1, 4, 14, 19, the generator steps to 11, 7, 5 and 3 respectively, with 1, 4, 10, 18, the steps to 3, 5, 7 and 11 in 11-limit meantone.

Marrakesh, named by Herman Miller in 2011[1], is a more accurate 11-limit extension where the generator is identified with 22/15 as opposed to 16/11 in casablanca.
