26th-octave temperaments

Revision as of 03:15, 21 July 2026 by FloraC (talk | contribs) (Units & misc. cleanup)
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.

All temperaments on this page have a period that is 1/26th of an octave. However, the [-41 26 comma is not tempered out. Thus the 3/2 is not that of 26edo. However, 7/4 is, as is 11/8 in the bosonic temperaments.

26edo is very accurate for 7th harmonic, the 26-7-comma ([73 0 0 -26, the amount by which 26 septimal whole tones (8/7) exceed 5 octaves) is tempered out by 26-fold multiple edos up to 1456 (such as 26-, 130-, 286- or 546edo).
