No-twos subgroup temperaments
(WIP, catalog of 3.5.7 subgroup rank two temperaments will eventually be redirected here)
This is a collection of subgroup temperaments which omit the prime harmonic of 2. Because of the absence of octaves, these are all nonoctave scales using a period of a tritave, or if harmonic 3 is also excluded, 5/1.
Overview by mapping of 5
Classified by focusing on the mapping of 5th harmonic, similar to Rank-2 temperaments by mapping of 3.
- Arcturus, Aldebaran and Polaris have a 3/1 period and ~5/3 generator. There is one-to-one correspondence between the 3.5 subgroup and mapped intervals.
- BPS has a ~9/7 generator, two of which give the ~5/3.
- Sirius has a ~25/21 generator, three of which give the ~5/3.
- Deneb has a ~11/9 generator, three of which give the ~9/5.
- Canopus has a ~7/5 generator, five of which give the ~27/5 (9/5 up a tritave).
- Alnilam has a ~81/55 generator, ten of which give the ~243/5 (9/5 up three tritaves).
- Izar has a ~16807/10125 generator, twelve of which give the ~2187/5 (9/5 up five tritaves).
- Mintaka does not include the 5th harmonic, and has an ~11/7 generator, two of which give the ~27/11, and three of which give the ~27/7 (9/7 and a tritave).
- Antipyth and Juggernaut use 5/1 as a period, and have a ~7/5 generator. There is one-to-one correspondence between the 5.7 subgroup and mapped intervals.

3.5.11 subgroup temperaments
Polaris
Polaris tempers out the comma 177147/171875, and thus equates 7 5/3's with 15/11, or equivalently 7 9/5's with 11/9.

Alnilam
Effectively a microtemperament, Alnilam takes a generator of an 81/55 flat fifth and equates 9 of them with 11/9. The name was given by CompactStar to continue with the theme of naming no-twos temperaments after proper star names, but also to indirectly reference mavila.
