The dicot family is a low-accuracy family of temperaments which temper out the chromatic semitone, 25/24, and hence identify major and minor thirds. [[7edo]] makes for a good dicot tuning. | The dicot family is a low-accuracy family of temperaments which temper out the chromatic semitone, 25/24, and hence identify major and minor thirds.
