Garibaldi
Garibaldi temperament is a 7-limit (and higher) temperament of the schismatic family. It is an extension of helmholtz temperament beyond the 5-limit but with the same simple chain-of-fifths structure (so that standard notation may be used). As in helmholtz temperament, 5/4 is mapped to the diminished fourth (e.g. C-F♭), and the new mapping specific to garibaldi is that 7/4 is mapped to the double diminished octave (e.g. C-Cbb). This makes garibaldi a marvel temperament.
Immediate 11-limit extensions include cassandra (41 & 53), mapping 11/8 to +23 fifths, andromeda (29 & 41), mapping 11/8 to -18 fifths, and helenus (53 & 65d), mapping 11/8 to -30 fifths.

Notation
Using garibaldi can be a challenge because it defies the tradition of tertian harmony in circle-of-fifths notation. The just major triad on C is C-Fb-G, for example. One may want to adopt an additional module of accidentals such as arrows to represent the comma step, allowing them to write the chord above as C-vE-G.
| Ratio | Nominal | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 3/2 | Perfect fifth | C-G |
| 5/4 | Down major third | C-vE |
| 7/4 | Down minor seventh | C-vBb |
| 11/8 | Double-up fourth | C-^^F |
| 13/8 | Double-up minor sixth | C-^^Ab |
| 19/16 | Minor third | C-Eb |
| Ratio | Nominal | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 11/8 | Down diminished fifth Double-down augmented fourth |
C-vGb C-vvF# |
| 13/8 | Double down major sixth | C-vvA |
| Ratio | Nominal | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 11/8 | Double-down diminished fifth Triple-down augmented fourth |
C-vvGb C-v3F# |
| 13/8 | Triple-down major sixth | C-v3A |
