Extensions

The second comma of the normal comma list defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at.

Septimal meantone adds [-13 10 0 -1⟩, finding the ~7/4 at the augmented sixth,
Flattone adds [-17 9 0 1⟩, finding the ~7/4 at the diminished seventh,
Dominant adds [6 -2 0 -1⟩, finding the ~7/4 at the minor seventh,
Flattertone adds [-24 17 0 -1⟩, finding the ~7/4 at the double-augmented sixth,
Sharptone adds [2 -3 0 1⟩, finding the ~7/4 at the major sixth,

Those all have a fifth as generator.

Injera adds [-7 8 0 -2⟩ with a half-octave period.
Mohajira adds [-23 11 0 2⟩ and splits the fifth in two.
Godzilla adds [-4 -1 0 2⟩ with an ~8/7 generator, two of which give the fourth.
Mothra adds [-10 1 0 3⟩ with an ~8/7 generator, three of which give the fifth.
Liese adds [-9 11 0 -3⟩ with a ~10/7 generator, three of which give the twelfth.
Squares adds [-3 9 0 -4⟩ with a ~9/7 generator, four of which give the eleventh.
Jerome adds [3 7 0 -5⟩ and slices the fifth in five.

Strong extensions

For any meantone generator tuning between 7\12 and 11\19, the augmented sixth is sharper than the diminished seventh and flatter than the minor seventh, befitting an approximation to interval class of 7. This coincides with interpreting the tritone (~9/8)³ as 7/5, leading to septimal meantone, a very elegant extension to the 7-limit.

For any tuning flatter than 11\19, the augmented sixth and diminished seventh swap their orders, so the diminished seventh becomes a better approximation to the interval class of 7, resulting in flattone. Likewise, for any tuning sharper than 7\12, the minor seventh is the proper approximation instead, resulting in dominant.

Another way to extend meantone to higher limits involves decomposing the meantone comma into products of smaller commas, or expressing some other comma of interest in terms of the ratio between the meantone comma and another comma. However, this often results in weak extensions. Another opportunity given by the meantone fifth being flat is that the most obvious ways of dividing it into n parts leave the part closer to just than usual, because we can allow – and indeed want – more flatwards tempering on the fifth, so may be recommended for this reason.

Splitting the meantone fifth into two (243/242)

By tempering out 243/242 we equate the distance from 9/8 to 10/9 (= S9) with the distance between 11/10 to 12/11 (= S11), leading to mohaha which is in some sense thus a trivial tuning of rastmic (as 81/80 and 121/120 vanish), but an important one, as it leads to the 11/9 being a more in-tune "hemififth" than in non-meantone rastmic temperaments (which require sharper fifths in good tunings), and it has a natural extension to the full 11-limit by finding 7/4 as the semi-diminished seventh, leading to mohajira, which inflates 64/63 to equate it with a small quarter-tone, which is characteristic. Mohajira can also be thought of as equating a slightly sharpened (5/4)² with 11/7, which is also natural as meantone tempering usually has 5/4 slightly sharp. There is also the consideration that tempering out 121/120 leads to similarly high damage in the 11-limit as tempering 81/80 in the 5-limit, because both erase key distinctions of their respective JI subgroups.

Splitting the meantone fifth into three (1029/1024)

By tempering out 1029/1024 we equate the distance from 7/6 to 8/7 (= S7) with the distance from 8/7 to 9/8 (= S8), so that (8/7)³ is equated with 3/2, because of being able to be rewritten as (9/8)(8/7)(7/6) – this observation can be generalized to define the family of ultraparticular commas. This is an unusually natural extension, with a surprising coincidence: (36/35)/(64/63) = 81/80, or using the shorthand notation, S6/S8 = S9. As S6/S8 is already tempered out, it is natural to want 49/48 (S7), which is bigger than S8 and smaller than S6 to be equated with both, to avoid inconsistent mappings. This has the surprising consequence of meaning that splitting the meantone fifth into three 8/7's is equivalent to splitting 8/5 into three 7/6's by tempering (8/5)/(7/6)³ = 1728/1715 (S6/S7), the orwellisma.

This strategy leads to the 7-limit version of mothra, which is also sometimes called cynder, though confusingly cynder has a different mapping for 11 in the 11-limit. Though mothra is the simplest extension by a small margin, when measured in terms of generators required to reach 11, there is another extension that is perhaps more obvious, by noticing that because we have S6~S7~S8 with S9 tempered out, we can try S8~S10 by tempering out 176/175 (S8/S10), which is (11/7)/(5/4)², taking advantage of 10/9 being tempered sharp in meantone so that we can distinguish 11/10 from it, thus finding 16/11 at 100/99 above the meantone diminished fifth, (6/5)² = 36/25 = (3/2)/(25/24).

31edo as splitting the fifth into two, three and nine

31edo is unique as combining all aforementioned tempering strategies into one elegant 11-limit meantone temperament; it also combines yet more extensions of meantone not discussed here, and it has a very accurate 5/4 and 7/4 and an even more accurate 35/32. A tempering strategy not mentioned is splitting a flattened 3/2 into nine sharpened 25/24's, resulting in the 5-limit version of valentine so that 31edo is the unique tuning that combines them. Furthermore, splitting the meantone fifth into two and three in the ways described above leads to meantone + miracle without tempering out 225/224, which interestingly, though a rank-2 temperament, only has 31edo as a patent val tuning (corresponding to also tempering out 225/224).

Temperaments discussed elsewhere include

Plutus → Very low accuracy temperaments
Godzilla → Slendro clan
Mothra → Gamelismic clan
Mohaha → Rastmic clan

The rest are considered below.

Septimal meantone temperament

In septimal meantone, ten fifths get to the interval class for 7, so that 7/4 is an augmented sixth (C–A♯), 7/6 is an augmented second (C–D♯), 7/5 is an augmented fourth (C–F♯), and 21/16 is an augmented third (C–E♯). Septimal meantone tempers out the common 7-limit commas 126/125, 225/224, and 3136/3125 and in fact can be defined as the 7-limit temperament that tempers out any two of 81/80, 126/125 and 225/224.

Undecimal meantone (huygens)

"Huygens" redirects here. For the Dutch mathematician, physicist and astronomer, see Wikipedia: Christiaan Huygens.

See also: Meantone vs meanpop

Undecimal meantone maps the 11/8 to the double-augmented third (C–E𝄪), and tridecimal meantone maps the 13/8 to the double-augmented fifth (C–G𝄪). Note that the minor third conflates 13/11 with 6/5, and that 11/10~13/12 is a double-augmented unison; 12/11 is a double-diminished third; and 14/13 is a minor second.

Meantonic

Dubbed meantonic here, this extension maps the 17/16 to the octave-reduced triple-augmented seventh (C–B𝄪♯), and 19/16 to the quadruple-augmented unison (C–C𝄪𝄪). The major second is now 19/17, and 17/16 is conflated with 19/18, as do all the other extensions discussed below. 31edo also conflates 17/16~19/18 with 16/15 whereas 50edo conflates all of 17/16, 18/17, 19/18, and 20/19, so a good tuning would be somewhere in this range.

Meantoid

Dubbed meantoid here, this extension maps 17/16~19/18 to the augmented unison (C–C♯) and 19/16 to the augmented second (C–D♯). For any tuning flatter than 12edo, the sizes of 17/16 (augmented unison) and 18/17 (minor second) are inverted, so genuine septendecimal and undevicesimal harmony cannot be expected.

Flattone

Main article: Flattone

In flattone tunings, the fifth is typically even flatter than that of 19edo. Here, 9 fourths get to the interval class for 7, so that 7/4 is a diminished seventh (C–B𝄫), 7/6 is a diminished third (C–E𝄫), and 7/5 is a double-diminished fifth (C–G𝄫). In general, septimal subminor intervals are diminished and septimal supermajor intervals are augmented, which makes it quite easy to learn flattone notation. Good tunings for flattone are 45edo, 64edo, and 71edo.

Flattertone

Flattertone tunings are typically at least as flat as 26edo. Here, 17 fifths get to the interval class for 7, so that 7/4 is a double-augmented sixth (C–Ax). 26edo and 33cd-edo are the two primary flattertone tunings. 1/2-comma meantone is also encompassed within flattertone's range. Any flatter than this, the meantone mapping for 5/4 is too inaccurate (it becomes more of a 16/13 or 27/22), and deeptone temperament's mapping is more logical.

Dominant

Main article: Dominant (temperament)

See also: Archytas clan

The interval class for 7 is obtained from two fourths in succession, so that 7/4 is a minor seventh. The 7/6 interval is, like 6/5, now a minor third, and 7/5 is a diminished fifth. An excellent tuning for dominant is 12edo, but it also works well with the Pythagorean tuning of pure 3/2 fifths, and with 29edo, 41edo, or 53edo.

Because dominant entails a near-pure perfect fifth, a small number of generators will not land on an interval close to prime 11. The canonical 11-limit extension takes the tritone as 16/11, which it barely sounds like. The first alternative, domineering, takes the same step as 11/8, which it barely sounds like either. Domination tempers out 77/75 and identifies 11/8 with the augmented third; arnold tempers out 33/32 and identifies 11/8 with the perfect fourth. None of them are nearly as good as the weak extension neutrominant, splitting the fifth as well as the chromatic semitone in two like in all rastmic temperaments.

Sharptone

Sharptone is a low-accuracy temperament tempering out 21/20 and 28/27. In sharptone, 7/4 is a major sixth, 7/6 a whole tone, and 7/5 a fourth. Genuinely septimal sounding harmony therefore cannot be expected, but it can be used to translate, more or less, 7-limit JI into 5-limit meantone. 12edo tuning does sharptone about as well as such a thing can be done, of course not in its patent val.

Mohajira

Main article: Mohajira

Mohajira can be viewed as derived from mohaha which maps the interval one quarter tone flat of 16/9 to 7/4, although mohajira really makes more sense as an 11-limit temperament. It tempers out 6144/6125, the porwell comma. 31edo makes for an excellent (7-limit) mohajira tuning, with generator 9\31.

Superpine

The superpine temperament is generated by 1/3 of a fourth, represented by ~35/32, which resembles porcupine, but it favors flat fifths instead of sharp ones. Unlike in porcupine, the minor third reached by 2 generators up is strongly neutral-flavored and does not represent 6/5–harmonics other than 3 all require the 15-tone mos to properly utilize. This temperament has an obvious 11-limit interpretation by treating the generator as 11/10 as in porcupine, which makes 11/8 high-complexity like the other harmonics, but in the 13-limit 5 generators up closely approximates 13/8. 43edo is a good tuning especially for the higher-limit extensions.

Meantritone

The meantritone temperament tempers out the mirkwai comma (16875/16807) and trimyna comma (50421/50000) in the 7-limit. In this temperament, three septimal tritones equals ~30/11 (an octave plus 15/11-wide super-fourth) and five of them equals ~16/3 (double-compound fourth). The name "meantritone" is a portmanteau of meantone and tritone, the latter is a generator of this temperament.

Injera

Injera has a half-octave period and a generator which can be taken as a fifth or fourth, but also as a 15/14 semitone difference between a half-octave and a perfect fifth. Injera tempers out 50/49, equating 7/5 with 10/7 and giving a tritone of half an octave. A major third up from this tritone is the 7/4. 38edo, which is two parallel 19edos, is an excellent tuning for injera.
