User:BudjarnLambeth/Regular temperament interpretation of lucite23
These are generalisations of Gordon Wery's lucite23 scale into a regular temperament.
Triencata temperament
Described by Osmium in October 2025. Relatively high accuracy; tunes the 2.3.5.13.17 subgroup (so it's a type of no-7s temperament).

Looks like the 7 and 11 in [lucite] temperament are suspicious; I recommend removing them to achieve a 2.3.5.13.17-subgroup temperament of considerably more accuracy. in order of decreasing sharpness of the fifth, here are the
- [CE/CEE](<https://sintel.pythonanywhere.com/result?subgroup=17&reduce=on&weights=unweighted&target=&edos=&commas=49%2F48+66%2F65+275%2F273+561%2F560+715%2F714&submit_comma=submit>),
- [CTE](<https://sintel.pythonanywhere.com/result?subgroup=17&reduce=on&weights=tenney&target=&edos=&commas=49%2F48+66%2F65+275%2F273+561%2F560+715%2F714&submit_comma=submit>)
- and [CWE](<https://sintel.pythonanywhere.com/result?subgroup=17&reduce=on&weights=weil&target=&edos=&commas=49%2F48+66%2F65+275%2F273+561%2F560+715%2F714&submit_comma=submit>)
tunings of [lucite] temp where we can see the issue with the 7 and 11 (which becomes more pronounced cuz theyre the only ones with an unambiguous flat tendency) persists in all of these.
By contrast, for the 2.3.5.13.17 subgroup that I suggest, here are the results in order of increasing sharpness of the fifth (to keep the order as CE/CEE, CTE, CWE):
- [CE/CEE](<https://sintel.pythonanywhere.com/result?subgroup=2.3.5.13.17&reduce=on&weights=unweighted&target=&edos=11b+34&submit_edo=submit&commas=>),
- [CTE](<https://sintel.pythonanywhere.com/result?subgroup=2.3.5.13.17&reduce=on&weights=tenney&target=&edos=11b+34&submit_edo=submit&commas=>) and
- [CWE](<https://sintel.pythonanywhere.com/result?subgroup=2.3.5.13.17&reduce=on&weights=weil&target=&edos=11b+34&submit_edo=submit&commas=>)
for which we also notice many much larger viable EDOs of considerable accuracy and interest.
It also makes clearer that this is related to kleismic, specifically a version of kleismic splitting the ~6/5 gen into three equal parts of 17/16, so I'd suggest a working name of "triencata", as we extend the 2.3.5.13 subgroup of cata to prime 17 by splitting 6/5 into three 17/16's. Then we know a more accurate tuning range so we can look for extensions.

Lucite temperament
Described by Budjarn Lambeth in October 2025. Relatively low accuracy but includes the full 17-limit.
Using Sintel Temperament Finder's badness, it has a badness of: 3.052.
