Horwell temperaments

Revision as of 09:20, 22 June 2026 by FloraC (talk | contribs) (Units, misc. cleanup, - redundant category)
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.

This is a collection of rank-2 horwell temperaments, which temper out the horwell comma (monzo[-16 1 5 1, ratio: 65625/65536).

Temperaments discussed elsewhere are

Fifthplus

Fifthplus (22 & 171) tempers out the sesesix comma, [-74 13 23 in the 5-limit. The name "fifthplus" means using a sharp fifth interval (such as superpyth fifth) as a generator. It is a restriction of prime archagall.

Emkay

Emkay (87 & 224) tempers out the same 5-limit comma as the emka temperament (37 & 50), but with the horwell (65625/65536) rather than the hemimean (3136/3125) tempered out.

Oquatonic

For the 5-limit version, see 28th-octave temperaments #Oquatonic (5-limit).

The oquatonic has a period of 1/28 octave and tempers out the horwell (65625/65536) and the dimcomp (390625/388962), as well as the hemfiness (4096000/4084101, saquinru-atriyo). In this temperament, major third of 5/4 is mapped into 9\28.

The name oquatonic was given by Petr Pařízek in 2011 as an abbreviation of the Italian ottantaquatro ("eighty-four")[1].

Bezique

Bezique splits the octave into 32 equal parts and reaches 3/2, 8/5 and 11/8 in just one generator with the 64-tone mos. The card game of bezique is played with two packs of 32 cards, hence the name.
