'''Secor''' is an interval size measure named after [[George Secor]]. It's original technical definition is (18/5)^(1/19), or 116.716 cents, the [[11 limit]] [[minimax]] [[generator]] for [[Miracle]] [[temperament]], but it can be used for any interval of similar size that fulfils the requirements for Miracle and its extensions.

The secor was first derived by George Secor in 1975, in his article "[http://www.anaphoria.com/secor.pdf A new look at the Partch Monotphonic Fabric]", published in Xenharmonikôn 3: "If the above keyboard is tuned so that each key plays 116.89 cents different in pitch from the one beside it, a temperament will result in which none of the 29 primary ratios within the 11-lmit will be more than about 3.32 cents false." At this time, the interval was yet unnamed. The name "secor" was proposed in 2001 by [[Dave Keenan]], both in honor of Secor and as a contraction of "SECond~~" and "~~minOR"<ref>https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_27028#27062</ref>.
