22nd-octave temperaments

22edo is a notable tuning system, and as such it gives rise to some fractional-octave temperaments.

Temperaments discussed elsewhere include:

Major Arcana

Named after a subset of Tarot cards of which there is 22. Tempers out the [-193 154 -22 comma in the 5-limit. Can be conceptualized as a more precise version of icosidillic in the 5-limit and the 7-limit, however there's no single way to extend it to the 11-limit due to inconsistency.

Subgroup: 2.3.5

Comma list: [-193 154 -22

Mapping: [22 22 -39], 0 1 7]]

Mapping generators: ~[79 -63 9, ~3/2

Optimal tuning (CTE): ~3/2 = 701.942

Optimal ET sequence176, 336, 506, 836, 1342, 1848, ...

7-limit

Subgroup: 2.3.5.7

Comma list: [51 -24 -8 2, [-20 41 -23 3

Mapping: [22 22 -39 -453], 0 1 7 40]]

Mapping generators: ~16128/15625, ~3/2

Optimal tuning (CTE): ~3/2 = 701.948

Bibium

Bibium is named after an "extended provisional name" for the 22nd element titanium, which is needed to resolve a name conflict as Titanium is already a temperament.

Subgroup: 2.3.5.7.11.13

Comma list: 2401/2400, 9801/9800, 67392/67375, 142884/142805

Mapping: [22 2 10 33 72 28], 0 8 10 7 1 3]]

Mapping generators: ~65/63 = 1\22, 338/297 = 224.100

Optimal tuning (CTE): ~338/297 = 224.100

Supporting ETs: 198, 616, 814, 1012, 1210
