Extension for the many descendants of the diatonic. Bold MOSes support Pythagorean tuning. Italic names are new. Credit to Frostburn for original names.

Etymologies:

  • countermystonic comes from countercomp and mystery, the two temperaments that converge in this MOS.
  • comptomerc comes from compton, as 12edo can also generate this MOS, albeit trivially.
  • garytonic comes from gary, the temperament that tempers the garischisma.
  • dinewtonic comes from Gene Ward Smith, who designed the gene (1\311), supporting a near-equal 311edo.
  • quincetonic comes from cotoneum, latin word for "quince", whose optimum is a near-equal 217edo.
  • acupyth comes from acus (needle), judging by the accuracy of the fifths in this range.
  • pontiacitonic comes from pontiac, which generates this MOS.
  • comptograckle comes from compton and grackle, which can both generate this MOS.
  • qiantonic comes from Qián Lèzhī, the ancient Chinese astronomer and instrument maker who discovered the 306- and 359- comma.
  • picopyth comes from pico-, a SI prefix denoting 10^-12, a minute order of magnitude.
  • auromean comes from the golden meantone, as it supports a generator of 696.214 cents.
  • meancomptonic comes from compton and meantone, as the ranges are between sharper meantone and compton.
  • ultimeantonic comes from the fact that the basic tuning 47\81 is the last patent val fifth that supports golden meantone.
  • pessimean comes from pessimus (the worst), because meantone tunings in this range are bad.
  • meridetonic comes from the méride, 1\43, as the MOS has 43 notes and 43edo provides an equal temperament.
  • supytonic comes from superpyth-tonic, to give it a different name.
