A '''gentle tetrad''' is any of three [[13-limit]] [[Dyadic chord|essentially tempered tetrads]] in the gentle temperament, tempering out [[364/363]]. In close position, these have steps of size 14/11-13/11-7/6-8/7, 13/11-14/11-8/7-7/6 and 13/11-7/6-13/11-16/13, leading to the temperings of 1-14/11-3/2-7/4, 1-13/11-3/2-12/7 and 1-13/11-11/8-13/8. A gentle triad is any of four 13-limit essentially tempered triads in the gentle temperament. The supermajor gentle triad is a tempering of 1-14/11-3/2, and its inversion the subminor gentle triad is a tempering of 1-13/11-3/2. The gothic gentle triads are the temperings of 1-7/6-11/8 and its inversion 1-13/11-11/8. The names refer to [[Margo Schulter]]'s [[Neo-gothic]] theory of harmony, which features a [[gentle region]] with a slightly sharpened fifth in which gentle triads and neogothic triads flourish. Equal divisions with gentle triads include {{EDOs|17, 22, 29, 41, 46, 58, 72, 87, 104, 121, 130, 217, 232, 234, 289 and 456}}.
