Antipyth

Antipyth is a 5/1-equivalent 5.7.11 (aka no-twos-or-threes 11-limit) subgroup temperament which tempers out 859375/823543. It is suitable for extremely xenharmonic music where the primes 2 and 3 are both eliminated (hence the name). In antipyth, the generator is a sharp 7/5 and 7 are needed to reach 11/5. 19ed5 is the first somewhat accurate ET supporting antipyth, containing the basic tuning of the 5L 9s〈5/1〉 MOS, although the 11/5 is still smeary at 1319 cents, a minor ninth rather than a sharp neutral ninth. If the range limitation of ed5s is too restrictive, this temperament can be used with alternative periods such as 11/5 or 11/7.
