Original Wikitext content:

Suppose S is a set of JI intervals i including 1 and 2 with 1 <= i <= 2 such
that if i is in S, so is 2/i. S is intended to represent a set of pitch classes
defining "consonance". A JI interval c is an essential tempering comma for S if:

1. c is greater than 1 but less than the smallest interval between any two
members of S

2. There are three intervals i, j, and k in S such that c = i*j/k

For various odd limit diamonds, we get the following essential tempering commas:

5: 128/125

7: 126/125, 64/63

9: 225/224, 126/125, 245/243

We don't need to use the full q-limit diamond; from Diamond([1,3,5,7,9,11,15])
we get: 540/539, 441/440, 385/384, 3388/3375, 243/242
