: Oh, and of course, then 7/3 * 10/9 ~ 13/5 by 351/350, and 13/5 * 10/9 = 26/9, so those commas give nice JI equivalents to the first 10 powers of 10/9. Tempering the 11th power to 16/5, though, by 325/324, and hence the 12th to 32/9, is quite a concession of accuracy. Hendec does that (and so do the edos supporting it, like 26, 46, 72, 92p, 118f), mirkat doesn't. --[[User:VIxen|VIxen]] ([[User talk:VIxen|talk]]) 01:18, 24 November 2021 (UTC)

Now it's in a much better state. At least it doesn't get labeled a ''temperament''. But this part still doesn't seem right: "in general, when the difference between the two is eliminated, what it really means is that the 'tone' is set to equal to 9/8 and the tuning completely misses 10/9." The term ''meantone'' itself means that the tone is between 9/8 and 10/9, and as I have pointed out, any tuning of meantone flatter than quarter-comma tunes the tone closer to 10/9 than 9/8. 19edo is particularly popular among such tuning options.
