Subgroup temperaments
A subgroup temperament is a regular temperament defined on a just intonation subgroup that is not a full p-limit group.
For temperaments that omit various prime harmonics, see:
- No-elevens subgroup temperaments
- No-sevens subgroup temperaments
- No-fives subgroup temperaments
- No-threes subgroup temperaments
- For no-twos, see Catalog of 3.5.7 subgroup rank two temperaments and No-twos subgroup temperaments.
Below are some temperaments for composite subgroups and fractional subgroups. Obviously, no attempt has been made at completeness; attention is focused on subgroups containing interesting chords. The reader may also want to consult the page on Chromatic pairs.
Integer subgroup temperaments
2.3.35 subgroup
Shaka
Two commas that split 2/1 in half, corresponding to convergents to sqrt(2), are the shaftesburisma S29/S41 and the kalisma S99, prompting to temper out {S29, S41, S99}, approximating /29 and /41 primodal chords well.

Commatose
Commatose is a dual-fifth temperament which uses the Pythagorean comma as a generator. It was developed by Eliora to highlight the near-perfect expression of 9/8 by 1789edo, while at the same time the fact that it completely misses 3/2. It is described as the 460 & 1329 temperament. In the 13-limit extension 24 generators are equal to ~13/9.

Daemotertiaschis
Daemotertiaschis is produced by taking every other generator of tertiaschis, and the subgroup is chosen so it tempers out exactly the same commas. It is notable due to offering a daemotonic 7L 4s scale of reasonable hardness, which is notoriously difficult to approximate with simple JI or RTT methods.

2.9.11 subgroup
Demon
Demon is a temperament which equates 3 11/9 with 16/9, or equivalently 3 18/11 with 9/8, tempering out 1331/1296. This results in 11/9 being tuned flat to a supraminor third, and 27/22 being tuned sharp to a submajor third. It was discovered by CompactStar while searching for temperaments assosciated with the 7L 4s ("daemotonic") MOS, known for its lack of representation of simple temperaments. The optimal tuning for demon temperament is near the basic tuning of 7L 4s (13\18), and indeed 18edo supports demon temperament.

Fourwar
The 23-limit version of Fourwar was created first, as an attempt to approximate subgroup 4.6.5.7.11.13.17.19.23 as accurately as possible using 25 to 35 notes per equave. Then the lower limit versions were created by simply extrapolating the temperament downwards.
Fourwar is named after the closely related hemiwar temperament.

Sixscared
Sixscared is a tuning which still maintains some consonance, while eviscerating the rules of conventional 12-tone harmony. The familiar major, minor and perfect intervals are nowhere to be found, and octaves are far and few between, so the seventh harmonic becomes the backbone of harmony. Approximating the harmonics 7, 8, 9, Sixscared is named for the classic dad joke: "Why was six scared? Because seven ate nine."
