Subgroup temperaments

A subgroup temperament is a regular temperament defined on a just intonation subgroup that is not a full p-limit group.

For temperaments that omit various prime harmonics, see:

• No-elevens subgroup temperaments
• No-sevens subgroup temperaments
• No-fives subgroup temperaments
• No-threes subgroup temperaments
• For no-twos, see Catalog of 3.5.7 subgroup rank two temperaments.

Below are some other miscellaneous subgroups and temperaments for them. Obviously, no attempt has been made at completeness; attention is focused on subgroups containing interesting chords. The reader may also want to consult the page on Chromatic pairs.
