'''Orson''', the [[5-limit]] temperament tempering out the semicomma | '''Orson''', first discovered by [[Erv Wilson]], is the [[5-limit]] temperament tempering out the semicomma. It has a [[generator]] of [[75/64]], which is sharper than [[7/6]] by [[225/224]] when untempered, and less sharp than that in any good orson tempering, for example [[53edo]] or [[84edo]]. These give tunings to the generator which are sharp of 7/6 by less than five [[cent]]s, making it hard to treat orson as anything other than an (at least) 7-limit system, leading to orwell. | ||
