Didymus rank-3 family

This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

The didymus rank-3 family are rank-3 temperaments tempering out the didymus comma, 81/80. If nothing else is tempered out we have a 7-limit planar temperament, with an 11-limit comma we get an 11-limit temperament, and so forth.

Most of these temperaments were named by Gene Ward Smith in 2010.

Temperaments discussed elsewhere include:

• Urania (+243/242 or 121/120) → Rastmic rank three clan
