Orwellismic temperaments

Revision as of 12:36, 21 October 2025 by FloraC (talk | contribs)
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.

This is a collection of rank-2 temperaments that temper out the orwellisma (monzo[6 3 -1 -3, ratio: 1728/1715).

Temperaments considered below are secant, infraorwell, quartonic, sentinel, diesic, philips, triskaidekic, and pentaorwell. Discussed elsewhere are:
