Semaphoresmic clan
- 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 semaphoresmic clan (or semaphore family) tempers out the large septimal diesis, or semaphoresma, 49/48, a triprime comma with factors of 2, 3 and 7.

Overview to extensions
The second comma of the comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at.
Godzilla adds 81/80. Immunity adds 2240/2187. Helayo adds 3645/3584. Superpelog adds 135/128. Beep adds 21/20. Baba adds 16/15. These all use the same nominal generator as semaphore, though some of them are of very low accuracy.
Decimal adds 25/24. Anguirus adds 2048/2025. Those split the octave in two. Negri adds 225/224, splitting the hemifourth in two. Triforce adds 128/125, splitting the octave in three. Keemun adds 126/125, splitting the hemitwelfth in three. Nautilus adds 250/243, splitting the hemifourth in three. Nuke is like nautilus, but adds 3584/3375 instead. Hemidim adds 648/625 with a 1/4-octave period. Blacksmith adds 28/27, splitting the octave in five. Spell adds 3125/3072, splitting the hemitwelfth in five. Hemiripple adds 6561/6250, splitting the hemifourth in five. Finally, semabila adds 28672/28125 and splits an interval of two octaves plus a hemifourth in five.

Considered below are godzilla, helayo, superpelog, baba, negri, and nuke.
Godzilla
Godzilla tempers out 81/80, equating 9/8 and 10/9, so it finds the prime 5 at a stack of four fifths, as does any temperament in the meantone family. 19edo is close to being the optimal generator tuning; hence it can be more or less equated with taking 4\19 as a generator. Mos scales are of 5, 9, or 14 notes.
