This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

This is a collection of rank-2 temperaments tempering out the octagar comma (monzo[5 -4 3 -2, ratio: 4000/3969).

Temperaments considered below are slendi and slithy. Discussed elsewhere are:

Slendi

Slendi may be described as the 41 & 42 temperament. It has a generator of 49/48, seventeen of which give 4/3. Its ploidacot is omega-17-cot.

The name was likely derived from slendro diesis, one of the names for the interval 49/48.

Tridecatonic

The tridecatonic temperament (26 & 39) has a period of 1/13 octave. It tempers out the tridecalimma, [-11 26 -13 in the 5-limit. There are some extensions for 7-limit, including tridecatonic (26 & 39d, tempering out 4000/3969), trideci (26 & 39, tempering out 4375/4374), and bosonic (26 & 130, tempering out 321489/320000).
