Limmic temperaments

This limmic temperaments page collects various temperaments tempering out the Pythagorean limma, 256/243. As a consequence, 3/2 is always represented by 3\5, 720 cents assuming pure octaves. While quite sharp, this is close enough to a just fifth to serve as a fifth, and some people are fond of it.

Blackweed

Blackweed is a variant of blackwood as it tempers out 256/243 alike but in the 2.3.11/7 subgroup. 20edo is close to the optimum, which has 4\20 as the period and 420¢ as the generator.
