Original Wikitext content:
Pseudo-semiphore is a weird temperament in which the third harmonic does not have a single consistent mapping. If you want to force it into the regular mapping paradigm you have to think of it as a 2.3.3'.7 temperament.
It's called "pseudo-semiphore" because it has the same MOS structure as [[semiphore]], but 49/48 is not tempered out. Perhaps it's better to think of it as [[Superpyth|superpyth]] in which the 4/3 generator has been split in half forming a weird interval that's neither 8/7 nor 7/6.

===5-note (LLLLs, proper)===
The 5-note MOS is not much use because only one of the two different mappings shows up. You'd be better off using [[semiphore]][5] or [[superpyth]][5] (or [[5edo]]).

===9-note (LLsLsLsLs, improper)===
Here's where all the action begins. Note that this nine-note scale contains nine 4/3s and nine 3/2s. The only way this is possible with a single mapping for 3 is an equal temperament, and all of these 4/3s and 3/2s are much more accurate than in [[9edo]].
