This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

This is a collection of rank-2 temperaments tempering out the hemimage comma (monzo: [5 -7 -1 3⟩, ratio: 10976/10935).

Temperaments discussed elsewhere are:

Considered below are degrees, bicommatic, bisupermajor, squarschmidt, and leapmonth, in the order of increasing badness.

Degrees

This page is about the regular temperament. For scale degrees, see degree.
See also: 20th-octave temperaments

Degrees temperament has a period of 1/20 octave and tempers out the hemimage (10976/10935) and the dimcomp (390625/388962). In this temperament, one period equals ~28/27, two equals ~15/14, three equals ~10/9, five equals ~25/21, six equals ~16/13, seven equals ~14/11, nine equals ~15/11, and ten equals ~99/70.

An obvious extension to the 23-limit exists by mapping 23/20 to 4\20 (1\5), 69/56 to 6\20 (3\10), and 23/18 to 7\20. By observing that 1\20 works as 30/29~29/28~28/27, with 29/28 being especially accurate, and by mapping 29/22 to 2\5, we get a uniquely elegant extension to the 29-limit which tempers out 726/725, which is the difference between 33/25 and 29/22, as well as 784/783 (S28) and 841/840 (S29). An edo as large as 220 supports it by patent val, though it does not appear in the optimal ET sequence, and 80edo and 140edo are both much more recommendable tunings.

By equating 37/28 with 2\5 and more accurately 85/74 with 1\5 and 44/37 with 1\4 (among many other equivalences), we get an extension for prime 37 agreeing with many semiconvergents, tempering out 481/480. By mapping 60/41 and 41/28 to 11\20 or equivalently 56/41 and 41/30 to 9\20 and by mapping 44/41 to 1\10 (among many other equivalences), there is a very efficient extension for prime 41 tempering out 451/450.

The 80-note generator chain is ideal, so 80edo is in some sense both a trivial and maximally efficient tuning of this temperament. We also observe an abundance of JI interpretations of 20edo by combining primes so that all things require 3 generators, yielding: 37:44:54:56:58:60:69:74:82:85. Alternatively, combining primes so that all things require 2 generators yields 36:40:46:51 which except for intervals of 51 is contained implicitly in the above. The ratios therein should thus be instructive for how the structure of 20edo relates to its representation of JI in this temperament. Note that prime 47 can be added but only really makes sense in rooted form in 140edo.

Squarschmidt

For the 5-limit version, see Father–3 equivalence continuum #Squarschmidt (5-limit).

Squarschimidt may be described as 118 & 121 temperament. The extension here is a less accurate 7-limit interpretation, tempering out the hemimage comma and quasiorwellisma, 29360128/29296875. In the 11-limit, it tempers out 3025/3024, 5632/5625, and 12005/11979, and the generator represents ~44/35.
