The generator for supermajor temperament is a supermajor third, 9/7, tuned about 0.0002 cents flat. 37 of these give (2^15)/3, 46 give (2^19)/5, and 75 give (2^30)/7, leading to a wedgie of &lt;&lt;37 46 75 -13 15 45||. This is clearly quite a complex temperament; it makes up for it, to the extent it does, with extreme accuracy: 1106 or 1277 can be used as tunings, leading to accuracy even greater than that of ennealimmal. The 80 note MOS is presumably the place to start, and if that isn't enough notes for you, there's always the 171 note MOS.<br /> | The generator for supermajor temperament is a supermajor third, 9/7, tuned about 0.0002 cents flat. 37 of these give (2^15)/3, 46 give (2^19)/5, and 75 give (2^30)/7, leading to a wedgie of &lt;&lt;37 46 75 -13 15 45||.

Enndedecal temperament tempers out the enneadeca, |-14 -19 19&gt;, and as a consequence has a period of 1/19 octave. This is because the enneadeca is the amount by which nineteen just minor thirds fall short of an octave. If to this we add 4375/4374 we get the 7-limit temperament we are considering here, but note should be taken of the fact that it makes for a reasonable 5-limit microtemperament also, where the generator can be 25/24, 27/25, 10/9, 5/4 or 3/2. To this we may add possible 7-limit generators such as 225/224, 15/14 or 9/7. Since enneadecal tempers out 703125/702464, the amount by which 81/80 falls short of three stacked 225/224, we can equate the 225/224 generator with (81/80)^(1/3). This is the interval needed to adjust the 1/3 comma meantone flat fifths and major thirds of <a class="wiki_link" href="/19edo">19edo</a> up to just ones. <a class="wiki_link" href="/171edo">171edo</a> is a good tuning for either the 5 or 7 limits, and <a class="wiki_link" href="/494edo">494edo</a> shows how to extend the temperament to the 11 or 13 limit, where it is accurate but very complex.

As a 5-limit temperament, mitonic is a super-accurate microtemperament tempering out the minortone comma, |-16 35 -17&gt;. Flipping that gives the 5-limit wedgie &lt;&lt;17 35 16||, which tells us that 10/9 can be taken as the generator, with 17 of them giving a 6, 18 of them a 20/3, and 35 of them giving a 40. The generator should be tuned about 1/16 of a cent flat, with 6^(1/17) being 0.06423 cents flat and 40^(1/35) being 0.06234 cents flat. 171, 559 and 730 are possible equal temperament tunings.<br /> | As a 5-limit temperament, mitonic is a super-accurate microtemperament tempering out the minortone comma, |-16 35 -17&gt;.

However, as noted before, 32/21 is only a ragisma shy of (10/9)^4, and so a 7-limit interpretation, if not quite so super-accurate, is more or less inevitable. While 559 or 730 are still fine as tunings, the error of the 7-limit is lower by a whisker in <a class="wiki_link" href="/171edo">171edo</a>. The wedgie is now &lt;&lt;17 35 -21 16 -81 -147||, with 21 10/9 generators giving a 64/7. MOS of size 20, 33, 46 or 79 notes can be used for mitonic.<br /> | However, as noted before, 32/21 is only a ragisma shy of (10/9)^4, and so a 7-limit interpretation, if not quite so super-accurate, is more or less inevitable.

The generator for amity temperament is the acute minor third, which means an ordinary 6/5 minor third raised by an 81/80 comma to 243/200, and from this it derives its name. Aside from the ragisma it tempers out the 5-limit amity comma, 1600000/1594323, 5120/5103 and 6144/6125.
