Rename to Archy family?

As I read in Subgroup temperament families, relationships, and genes#Families, Dominant belongs to Meantone family and "Archy family" and in the introduction of this article (Archytas clan), I see the Dominant temperament in the list. Any suggestions how to cope with it? --Xenwolf (talk) 12:47, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Clan was Gene's term for subgroup family. Yeah it's sometimes confusing and the use has never carried on in the community. Not all clan pages can be renamed tho, as some of the subgroup temperaments haven't got distinct names (example: Quince clan). FloraC (talk) 17:36, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Thanks. I added the synonym as redirect lemma hoping that my conclusion archytas == archy is correct. --Xenwolf (talk) 09:19, 22 May 2021 (UTC)

Alternate 13-limit superpyth?

In the canonical 13-limit extension to superpyth, prime 13 is tuned very flat unlike the other harmonics unless tunings close to 27edo are used, and 27e-edo is the only reasonable tuning of it (tunings flatter than it swap 13/12 and 14/13, and tunings sharper than it swap 11/8 and 7/5). I suggest adding the extension 22f&27e, mapping prime 13 to -14 generators, though one may be against that as this extension wouldn't be supported by any patent vals (at least not to my knowledge). One may even argue to make that extension canonical and decanonicalize the currently canonical extension, though I am personally against doing that.--Overthink (talk) 19:59, 5 October 2025 (UTC)
