Fifive family

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.

The fifive family of temperaments tempers out the fifive comma (monzo: [-1 -14 10⟩, ratio: 9765625/9565938).

Fifive

The head of this family is fifive, which splits the perfect fifth into five 27/25's, and 5/4 is found as seven generators minus a half-octave period. Its ploidacot is diploid pentacot, and it is a member of the diaschismic–gothmic equivalence continuum with equivalence number n = 5/2.

The name fifive was given by Petr Pařízek in 2011 for it splits the perfect fifth in five.

Overview to extensions

The second comma in the comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. Crepuscular (26 & 34d) adds 50/49. Fifives (26 & 34) adds 875/864. Both use the same generators as fifive. The weak extension fourfives (60 & 68) adds 245/243. All are considered below.

The fifive family boasts a very remarkable extension to the 2.3.5.13 subgroup, which has further extensions with higher primes. These are listed at the bottom of this page, in #Subgroup extensions.

Subgroup extensions

Fifive (2.3.5.13)

As the ~27/25 generator of fifive is so close to 13/12, one may temper out their difference, 325/324, to obtain this extension in the 2.3.5.13 subgroup. It is also not unreasonable to equate both 17/12 and 24/17 with the semi-octave period given its overall level of precision, tempering out 289/288 and leading to a 2.3.5.13.17-subgroup temperament.
