===[[Magic family]]===  
===[[Magic family]]===  
The magic family tempers out 3125/3072, known as the magic comma or small diesis, has a generator which is a flattened major third. It's optimal, in a sense, for 9-limit harmony with a tuning close to 41-EDO. It's more accurate than meantone and simpler than schismatic. It works with 19 and 22 note scales. Five major thirds approximate 3/1. Twelve major thirds, less an octave, approximate 7/1. It's a little tricky to work with because 3/2 fifths are a relatively complex interval and it doesn't naturally work with scales of around 7 notes to the octave.
