Luna and hemithirds
| This page on a regular temperament, temperament collection, or aspect of regular temperament theory is being revised for clarity as part of WikiProject TempClean. |
The 7-limit hemithirds temperament functions as a strong extension of didacus, the 2.5.7 subgroup temperament, in the range between 25edo and 31edo tuning, defined by tempering out 3136/3125 such that two of its generators (hemithird, ~28/25, around 193.2 cents) reach ~5/4, three reach ~7/5, and therefore five reach ~7/4. Hemithirds extends didacus by tempering out 1029/1024, such that three intervals of ~8/7 reach 3/2, therefore finding 4/3 after fifteen generators in total.
Luna is a restriction of hemithirds to the 5-limit that is a microtemperament, supported by such high-precision tuning systems as 118edo and 441edo; another notable tuning of luna is 1000edo. It can further be re-extended to the 7-limit in the form of lunatic, but that extension is extremely complex (finding the 7th harmonic at 113 generators down).
