A rank three temperament is a <a class="wiki_link" href="/regular%20temperament">regular temperament</a> with three generators. If one of the generators can be an octave, it is called a planar temperament, though the word is sometimes applied to any rank three temperament. The octave classes of notes of a planar temperament can be embedded in a plane as a <a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lattice_%28group%29" rel="nofollow">lattice</a> , hence the name. The most elegant way to put a Euclidean metric, and hence a lattice structure, on the pitch classes of a planar temperament is to start from a lattice of pitch classes for just intonation, and orthogonally project onto the subspace perpendicular to the space determined by the commas of the temperament. <br /> | A rank three temperament is a <a class="wiki_link" href="/regular%20temperament">regular temperament</a> with three generators.
