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.

The mirkwai clan of temperaments tempers out the mirkwai comma (monzo[0 3 4 -5, ratio: 16875/16807), a no-twos comma.

Overview to extensions

The full 7-limit extensions' relation to canopus is clearer if the mapping is normalized in terms of 3.5.7.2. In fact, the strong extensions are nusecond and octoid. These temperaments are distributed into different temperament collection pages.

The others are weak extensions. Mirkat tempers out 19683/19600, splitting the generator in two with a semitwelfth period. Sqrtphi tempers out 15625/15552, splitting the period in six. Semisept tempers out 1728/1715 and 3136/3125, splitting the generator in six. Miracle tempers out 225/224. Pluto tempers out 4000/3969. These split the generator in five. Kwai tempers out 5120/5103, splitting the generator in ten. Quanharuk tempers out 32805/32768, splitting the generator in three with a 1/5-twelfth period. Grendel tempers out 6144/6125, splitting the generator in eleven. Finally, eris tempers out 65625/65536, splitting the generator in sixteen.

Septendesemi

The name septendesemi means a septendecimal semitone (17/16). The septendesemi temperament (80 & 103) tempers out the mirkwai comma and 1959552/1953125 (parkleiness comma, zotritrigu) in the 7-limit. 183edo provides an excellent tuning for 7-, 11-, 13-, and 17-limit septendesemi.

Gaster

For the 5-limit version, see Very high accuracy temperaments #Gaster.

The gaster temperament (111 & 113) tempers out [-70 72 -19 (quadbila-negu) in the 5-limit; mirkwai comma (16875/16807) and scheme comma (14348907/14336000) in the 7-limit. The word "gaster" means abdomen or stomach, but also a restructuring of the words "gassormic tritone", which is a generator of this temperament. This temperament is sufficient to obtain high prime limit harmonics like a stomach, so that patent vals 111, 113 and 224 support it even in the 41-limit.

This can also be considered a non-over-1 temperament, with considerable scope for harmony in the 2.5/3.7/3.11/3.13/3.17/3 subgroup with MOSes of 8, 15, 23, and 31 notes despite no harmonics from the root. It can be considered a detemperament of 8et, with a generator very slightly sharp of 1\8.
