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.

For information on the EDO corresponding to this temperament collection, see 52edo.

52-31/29-commatic

This temperament establishes the mapping of 31/29 to 5\52.

Subgroup: 2.29.31

Comma list: 2.29.31 [-5 -52 52

French deck

A period-52 temperament described as the 988 & 2444 temperament for the 2.5.11.13.19.29.31 subgroup, and tempers out the comma 2.29.31 [-5 -52 52, which means 5 periods are equal to 31/29. Called so because there's 52 playing cards in the traditional deck. 1789edo does not support it as 1789 is a prime number, and therefore is not divisible by 52.

Subgroup: 2.5.11.13.19.29.31

Tellurium

Tellurium preserves 26edo's accurate mappings of 8/7 and 13/12; it brings in mappings of 11/9 and 51/49 from 52edo.
