5L 2s/Temperaments

From Xenharmonic Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Below are some important rank-2 temperaments with optimal generator size in the diatonic (5L 2s) range (the period is always 1\1 for temperaments with this MOS structure). The temperaments are listed following the 5L 2s scale tree, in order of increasing generator size. The top-level temperaments are the most important and obvious divisions in diatonic tunings. Child temperaments are higher-complexity extensions of low-complexity parent temperaments, with new JI readings for intervals further out in the generator chain. These are finer adjustments of the major, parent temperaments, thus are less useful when the composer chooses not to use a long generator chain in the music.
