Exotemperament

Revision as of 18:57, 12 May 2021 by Cmloegcmluin (talk | contribs) (add synonym macrotemperament (whose name is a more direct antonym with its opposite, microtemperament))

An exotemperament or macrotemperament is a very inaccurate temperament, or in other words, one which tempers out a very large and very low-complexity comma. Examples of exotemperaments are father (tempers out 16/15, ≈111.7¢) or dicot (tempers out 25/24, ≈70.7¢).

The opposite of an exotemperament is a microtemperament.
