Below are some important [[rank]]-2 [[temperaments]] with optimal [[generator]] size in the 5L 2s range (the [[period]] is always 1\1 for temperaments with this MOS structure). The temperaments are listed roughly in order of increasing generator size. Child temperaments are higher-complexity extensions of low-[[complexity]] parent temperaments, with new JI readings for intervals further out in the generator chain. These are finer adjustments of the major, parent temperaments, thus are less useful when the composer does not use many generators in the music. | Below are some important [[rank]]-2 [[temperaments]] with optimal [[generator]] size in the 5L 2s range (the [[period]] is always 1\1 for temperaments with this MOS structure). The temperaments are listed roughly in order of increasing generator size. The top-level temperaments are the most important and obvious divisions in diatonic tunings. Child temperaments are higher-complexity extensions of low-[[complexity]] parent temperaments, with new JI readings for intervals further out in the generator chain. These are finer adjustments of the major, parent temperaments, thus are less useful when the composer does not use many generators in the music. | ||
