Deleted temperaments

These temperament names are no longer in use, although older material may still reference them. If one must refer to these temperaments, it is recommended to do so with an ET join (e. g. "11-limit 12 & 85") or as a restriction of a different temperament (e. g. "no-7s cassandra")

Deprecated name Subgroup EDO join Reason for deletion
Oviminor 7-limit 19 & 1600 More complex than egads (which shares the same generator) at lower accuracy
Maqamschismic 11 to 13-limit 41 & 53 Removes prime 7 from cassandra even though prime 11 has higher complexity and error
Quintapole 7 to 11-limit 12 & 85 Medium accuracy is not worth the high complexity; could lead to confusion with similarly named "quintupole"
Quintapole > Galeleic 13 to 19-limit 12f & 85fg Medium accuracy is not worth the high complexity; not even supported by any patent vals
Quintapole > Catagali 13 to 19-limit 12f & 85g Medium accuracy is not worth the high complexity; not even supported by any patent vals
Quintapole > Quintain 11 to 13-limit 12 & 85e Medium accuracy is not worth the high complexity
Bixby 5-limit 1 & 1c Too coarse even for detempering
Archon 5-limit 1 & 1b Too coarse even for detempering
Seesaw 2.3.5(.11) 1b & 2 Too coarse even for detempering
Seesaw > Heavy windmill 7 to 11-limit 1bd & 2 Too coarse even for detempering
Seesaw > Light windmill 7 to 11-limit 1b & 2 Too coarse even for detempering
Sixseven 2.3.7(.13) 1 & 3 Too coarse even for detempering
Sixseven > Heaven 2.3.7.11(.13) 1e & 3 Too coarse even for detempering
Sept 7 to 13-limit 7 & 14de No reason to leave prime 5 free in 7et rather than prime 7
Dog 2.3.19 7 & 16 No reason to interpret the resultant scales as dog rather than mavila / unenlightening restriction of armodog
