The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.
Original Wikitext content:
Star is an eight-note tempered scale, with something of the sound of the [[octatonic scale]]; however it is less regular and closer to just intonation. Star can be reached from various starting points, one of which is a 5-limit [[Fokker blocks|Fokker block]] which serves as a [[transversal]] for star. The block in question is [[smithgw_star]], 25/24-6/5-5/4-36/25-3/2-5/3-9/5-2/1, which consists of a chain of minor thirds 5/3-1-6/5-36/35 and that chain translated by 5/4, and which has three major and three minor triads. By tempering out 126/125, leading to [[Starling family#x7-limit starling|7-limit starling temperament]] we add the 7-limit intervals 8/7, 7/6, 7/5 and their inversions to the mix, and by tempering by 385/384 also, leading to [[Starling family#x7-limit starling-11-limit|11-limit starling]], the 11/8 interval also. There is no significant tuning advantage to 11-limit starling, a planar temperament, over the linear temperament [[Starling temperaments#Valentine temperament-11-limit|valentine]], so we may consider star to be a scale of valentine. In valentine, with generator a tempered 21/20 of 78 cents, the notes of star are -4, 0, 1, 4, 5, 8, 9 and 13 generators; in the ordering of the scale itself, that's 0, 1, 4, 5, 8, 9, -4, 13, 0. Since there are a finite number of 11-limit 8-note [[lesfip scales]], we may consider the [[star-lesfip|lesfip version of star]], star-lesfip, to be canonical. It can be reached from a variety of starting points. Lesfipping the 5-limit transversal in the range 14 to 17 cents of tolerance leads to star; so does lesfipping the 46et version in the range from 9 to 17 cents or the 77et version in the range 6 to 16 cents. Another tuning for star, not very different, is [[star|star in 77et]]; 77 giving the optimal patent val for both 11-limit starling and valentine. Star has sixteen [[dyadic chord|dyadic tetrads]], of eleven different types, which are among those listed on the [[chords of valentine]] page. In terms of what's lsted on that page, star has one otonal tetrad, given in the form 1-8/7-10/7-12/7 but better known as 1-5/4-3/2-7/4; one 1-6/5-3/2-12/7 utonal tetrad; and one each of the [[keenanismic chords|keenanismic tetrads]] 1-8/7-11/8-12/7, 1-6/5-11/8-12/7, 1-5/4-10/7-12/7 and 1-5/4-3/2-12/7. It also has two each of the starling tetrad, the tradition diminished seventh chord of meantone; the ambitonal [[just added sixth chord]] 1-6/5-3/2-9/5; and the three 9-limit starling tetrads 1-6/5-10/7-9/5, 1-5/4-10/7-9/5 and 1-5/4-3/2-9/5.
