Dimipent family

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.

The dimipent family tempers out the major diesis aka diminished comma, 648/625, the amount by which four 6/5 minor thirds exceed an octave, and so identifies the minor third with the quarter-octave. Hence it has the same 300-cent 6/5-approximations as 12edo.

Cohedim

This temperament has been documented in Graham Breed's temperament finder as hemidim, the same name as 11-limit 4e & 24 and 13-limit 4ef & 24. For 11-limit 8bce & 12 temperament, cohedim arguably makes more sense.
