For example, srutal could be {P8/2, M2/2}, but P5 is preferred because it is unsplit. Or it could be {P8/2, P12}, but P5 is preferred because it is smaller. Or it could be {P8/2, P4}, but P5 is always preferred over P4. Note that P5/2 is __not__ preferred over P4/2. For example, decimal is {P8/2, P4/2}, not {P8/2, P5/2}.

For non-standard prime groups, the period uses the first prime only, and the multi-gen uses the first two primes only. [[Kite's color notation|Color notation ]]is used to indicate primes higher than 3. For example, 2.5.7 with 50/49 tempered out is {P8/2, y3} = half-octave, yellow-third.

Rank-3 pergen sets have three intervals, any of which may be split. The unsplit 2.3.5... subgroup is {P8, P5, y3} = fifth-and-third-based. 2.3.5.7 with 50/49 tempered out is {P8/2, P5, y3} = half-octave fifth-and-third.

If one knows that the rank is 3, it can be called half-octave, otherwise it's called half-octave fifth-and-third, to distinguish it from {P8/2, P5}. The color name of a temperament indicates the rank. This is the deep reddish temperament. The name has two explicit colors, red and yellow, and two implicit colors, clear and white (primes 2 and 3). 4 colors minus 1 comma equals rank-3.


Rank-4 temperaments have pergen sets of four intervals. Rank-1 temperaments could have pergen sets of one, such as {P8/12} for 12-edo or {P12/13} for 13-ed3, but there's no particular reason to do so.
