<span style="">One way of looking at it comes by constructing it via four tempered 3/2</span> ([[Meantone|meantone]] without octaves) <span style="">each of which is divided</span> into five tones, which in turn approximate 11/8 13/8 7/6 etc., and themselves end up on the "pentave", 5/1, wherein the scale repeats itself. By analogy to common practice, this is familiar extended meantone but ''turned entirely inside-out''. Interestingly, while Hieronymus does not repeat at the octave or even approximate it well, factors of 2 are nevertheless important to its perception and structure; it might even be helpful to think of the 3/2 intervals as a cellular structure of sorts. | <span style="">One way of looking at it comes by constructing it via four tempered 3/2</span> ([[Meantone|meantone]] without octaves) <span style="">each of which is divided</span> into five tones, which in turn approximate 11/8 13/8 7/6 etc., and themselves end up on the "pentave", 5/1, wherein the scale repeats itself.

Adding octaves makes it [[Meantone_family#Jerome|jerome temperament]], with generator a meantone fifth divided in five, and Hieronymus is the generator chain of that. Jerome/Hieronymus only really comes into its own as a higher limit temperament, as a 13, or even higher limit system. It is related to [[43edo]], and | Adding octaves makes it [[Meantone_family#Jerome|jerome temperament]], with generator a meantone fifth divided in five, and Hieronymus is the generator chain of that.
