This page on a regular temperament, temperament collection, or aspect of regular temperament theory is being revised for clarity as part of WikiProject TempClean.

The hemithirds temperament has a half of major third interval of 5/4 as a generator (hemithird, ~28/25, around 193.2 cents). Aside from two generator represents ~5/4, five generator gives ~7/4 and fifteen gives ~16/3 (tempering out 1029/1024 and 3136/3125 in the 7-limit). It functions as a strong extension of didacus, the 2.5.7 subgroup temperament, in the range between 25edo and 31edo tuning.

See Hemimean clan #Hemithirds for more information.
