Yer was developed by [[Douglas Blumeyer|Douglas Blumeyer]] as a system to explore the [[unnoticeable comma]] 2432/2431, the Blumeyer comma, which appears twice as a step in the scale.

Again that's still in the 2.11.13.17.19 subgroup. And this one is the join of 13&24&33, with [[generators]] 1200.4457, 4149.8305, 4442.6991 (that 1st generator modulo the [[period]] is 548.4934 and the 2nd generator is 841.362). So one ~17 is down two ~11, and one ~19 is down one ~11 and up a ~13. Cool! This you'd call "Yer temperament" then. It has been registered here: [[Subgroup_temperaments#Yer_.28rank_3.29]]

A 13-note scale with only three scale step sizes is possible here. It's 7L 4M 2s, with the pattern LMLLMLsLMLMLs, where L ≈ 103.4¢, M ≈ 85.9¢, and s ≈ 66.2¢:

However this is not quite an [[MV3]] scale. It is a rotation of the "LLMLsLMLMLsLM" pattern which is identified [[User:Xenoindex/Tridecatonic_MV3|here]] as "Conditional (MM=Ls)", and while it's quite close, L + s = 103.4 + 66.2 = 169.6 but 169.6/2 = 84.8, not 85.9 which is the M here. 
 
The lattice for this scale looks like:
