Original Wikitext content:
The 5-limit parent comma for the semicomma family is the semicomma, 2109375/2097152 = |-21 3 7>. This is the amount by which three pure 3/1 twelfths exceed seven pure 8/5 minor thirds. Orson, the 5-limit temperament tempering it out, has a generator of 75/64. [[53edo]] is an excellent orson tuning, and [[84edo]] makes for a good alternative. These give tunings to the generator which are sharp of 7/6 by less than five cents, making it hard to treat orson as anything other than an (at least) 7-limit system, leading to orwell. ==Seven limit children== The second comma of the [[Normal lists|normal comma list]] defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. Adding 64625/65536 leads to orwell, but we could also add 1029/1024, leading to the 31&159 temperament with wedgie <<21 -9 -7 -63 -70 9||, or 67528125/67108864, giving the 31&243 temperament with wedgie <<28 -12 1 -84 -77 36||, or 4375/4374, giving the 53&243 temperament with wedgie <<7 -3 61 -21 77 150||. ===Orwell=== So called because 19/84 (as a [[fraction of the octave]]) is a possible generator of this temperament, orwell divides the interval of a twelfth (a tempered 3/1 frequency ratio) into 7 equal steps. It's compatible with [[22edo|22]], [[31edo|31]] and [[53edo|53-EDO]]. It's reasonable in the [[7-limit]] and naturally extends into the [[11-limit]].
