Map of rank-2 temperaments

Revision as of 06:01, 3 March 2024 by BudjarnLambeth (talk | contribs) (Made the capitalisation consistent throughout the whole page. Removed the Nimona temperament I added because I don't think it's distinct or important enough to be on here.)

This is intended to be a map of all interesting rank-2 temperaments that are compatible with octave equivalence. The only rank-2 temperaments not appearing here should be ones like Bohlen-Pierce that completely lack octaves.

Please make sure each fraction of an octave is always the mediant of the ones directly above and below.

One period per octave

Since this is the largest subset, it has its own page: Map of linear temperaments.

Two periods per octave
