Temperaments

12ed12/5 supports the "macro-meantone" temperament which tempers out 15625/15552 in the 12/5.3.4 subgroup. By a weird coincidence, this temperament is very close to a version of the meantone with all intervals stretched by about 26%, such that 2/1 becomes approximately 12/5, 3/2 becomes approximately 5/3, and 5/4 becomes approximately 4/3. The ~4:5:6 chord becomes stretched to the point where it is a ~3:4:5 chord. Even MOS patterns are similar to meantone.
