Revopentisma
Interval information |
Revopentisma is a 7-limit (and also 2.3.7 subgroup) unnoticeable comma associated with very high accuracy temperaments.
Theory
Revopentisma arises out of temperament-merging 1848edo and 3125edo in the 7-limit, as both of these edos are very precise in that limit. The associated temperament is named revopent, and it's remarkable in its short generator chains for edos in the thousands, with 7/4 being just four generators down and 3/2 being just nineteen, with octave reduction. Tempering it out in the full 7-limit produces rank-3 revopentismic temperament, as well as the 2.3.7 rank-2 revopentic temperament. The rank-2 revopent temperament adds mapping for 5 where it is reached in 287 generators.
Etymology
Comma's name is derived from two edos in the temperament-merging, number 1848 being associated with a year with a large number of revolutions in Europe, and 3125 being equal to 5 to the power of 5, hence pent- meaning five.
