→Barbados: rework intro (minimax only makes sense with an interval set); + error maps, + Sintel's badness

=== Barbados ===
=== Barbados ===
Barbados is the restriction of [[#Bridgetown|bridgetown]] to the 2.3.13/5 subgroup, and tempers out [[676/675]] alone. The [[minimax tuning]] for this makes the generator the cube root of 20/13, or 248.5953 cents. Edos which may be used for it are [[24edo]], [[29edo]], [[53edo]] and [[111edo]], with [[mos scale]]s of size 5, 9, 14, 19, 24 and 29 making for a good variety of scales. If tuned near-optimally, it is just barely a [[microtemperament]], with errors of under one cent for 3 and 13/5, and given its ultra-low complexity, this makes Barbados an extremely low-[[badness]] temperament within its subgroup.
Barbados tempers out [[676/675]] alone in the 2.3.13/5 subgroup. It melodically resembles [[semaphoresmic clan #Semaphore|semaphore]], but targets specifically the interseptimal intervals like [[13/10]] and [[15/13]]. [[#Bridgetown|Bridgetown]], which adds 11/5, is a notable extension of it.  
 
The {1, 3, 13/5} and {1, 3, 9, 13/5} [[minimax tuning]]s have 13/5 and 3 tuned pure, respectively. Edos which may be used for it include but are not limited to [[24edo]], [[29edo]], and [[53edo]], with [[mos scale]]s of size 5, 9, 14, 19, 24 and 29 making for a good variety of scales. If tuned near-optimally, it is just barely a [[microtemperament]], with errors of under one cent for 3 and 13/5, and given its ultra-low complexity, this makes barbados an extremely [[badness|low-badness]] temperament within its subgroup.
