Even less familiar than rank 2 temperaments are the [[Planar Temperament|rank 3 temperaments]], based on a set of three intervals. Since these temperaments may be mapped in many different ways, it is more common to identify rank 3 temperaments by the commas they temper out. | Even less familiar than rank 2 temperaments are the [[Planar Temperament|rank 3 temperaments]], based on a set of three intervals.

Tempers out 225/224. An excellent tuning for marvel is [[240edo]]. It extends in a natural way to unidecimal marvel, which tempers out 385/384, for which the slightly less accurate tuning of [[72edo]] works well. Marvel is generated by 2, 3, and 5, the same generators as the [[Harmonic Limit|5-limit]], which means a scale can be converted to marvel or unidecimal marvel simply by tempering it. | Tempers out 225/224.
