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 moctdelismic clan of rank-3 temperaments tempers out the moctdel comma, 1375/1372, the amount by which a stack of three 7/5's falls short of 11/4, one octave above 11/8.

Overview to extensions

The second comma in the comma list determines how we extend the no-3 subgroup temperament to include the harmonic 3. Indra adds 540/539 as well as 3025/3024, prodigy adds 225/224 as well as 441/440, and agni adds 385/384 as well as 2401/2400. Dimcomp adds 6250/6237 as well as 9801/9800, splitting the octave in four.

Discussed elsewhere are:

Considered below are mendel, moctpine, and compass, besides the no-3 subgroup temperament.

Mendel

For the 7-limit version of this temperament, see Miscellaneous 7-limit temperaments #Metric.

Named by Xenllium in 2026, mendel tempers out the vishdel comma, 5632/5625, as well as meter (703125/702464). It can be extended to the 13-limit by adding 352/351 or 625/624 to the comma basis.
