The augmented family tempers out the diesis of 128/125, the difference between three 5/4 major thirds and a 2/1 octave, and so identifies the major third with the third-octave. Hence it has the same 400-cent 5/4-approximations as [[12edo]], which is an excellent tuning for augmented. It is the temperament that results in what is commonly called the "augmented scale" (3L3s) in common 12-based music theory, as well as what is commonly called "Tcherepnin's scale" (3L6s). | The augmented family tempers out the diesis of 128/125, the difference between three 5/4 major thirds and a 2/1 octave, and so identifies the major third with the third-octave.
