10th-octave temperaments

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.

Fractional-octave temperaments

10edo is notable for having close approximations of 15/14 to one step, and 13/8 to 7 steps. 10th-octave temperaments naturally occur between any equal divisions of the octave whose greatest common divisor is 10.

Temperaments discussed elsewhere include: decoid, decile, decimetra, decistearn, decavish, and linus.

Neon

For extensions, see Ragismic microtemperaments #Deca, Landscape microtemperaments #Zinc, and 20th-octave temperaments #Calcium.

Neon tempers out [21 60 -50⟩ in the 5-limit, equating 3125/2916 with one step of 10edo. It was named by Eliora in 2023 after the 10th element.

Extending neon with ragisma, or equivalently with the linus comma, produces deca.
