(WIP, catalog of 3.5.7 subgroup rank two temperaments will eventually be redirected here)

This is a collection of subgroup temperaments which omit the prime harmonic of 2. Because of the absence of octaves, these are all nonoctave scales using a period of a tritave, or if harmonic 3 is also excluded, 5/1.

Overview by mapping of 5

Classified by focusing on the mapping of 5th harmonic, similar to Rank-2 temperaments by mapping of 3.

Arcturus, Aldebaran and Polaris have a 3/1 period and ~5/3 generator. There is one-to-one correspondence between the 3.5 subgroup and mapped intervals.
BPS has a ~9/7 generator, two of which give the ~5/3.
Sirius has a ~25/21 generator, three of which give the ~5/3.
Deneb has a ~11/9 generator, three of which give the ~9/5.
Canopus has a ~7/5 generator, five of which give the ~27/5 (9/5 up a tritave).
Alnilam has a ~81/55 generator, ten of which give the ~243/5 (9/5 up three tritaves).
Izar has a ~16807/10125 generator, twelve of which give the ~2187/5 (9/5 up five tritaves).
Nekkar has a ~16807/10935 generator, sixteen of which give the ~6561/5 (9/5 up six tritaves).
Mintaka does not include the 5th harmonic, and has an ~11/7 generator, two of which give the ~27/11, and three of which give the ~27/7 (9/7 and a tritave).
Antipyth uses 5/1 as a period, and has a ~7/5 generator. There is one-to-one correspondence between the 5.7 subgroup and mapped intervals.
Juggernaut uses half-pentave(~11/5) as a period, and has a ~7/5 generator.

Nekkar

This temperament is the no-twos restriction of squares, and as such is named after a star that belonged to the obsolete constellation of Quadrans Muralis, whose name has to do with squares. However, seeing the sheer complexity and size of the commas, Nekkar is much more naturally thought of as 3.5.7.11 than 3.5.7, whereupon it becomes a strong extension of Mintaka.

Alioth

This temperament uses a weak extension to 3.5.7.17 similar to what Dubhe does: tempering out 2025/2023 to split the 7-limit generator in half; in this case, 25/7 is split into two intervals of 17/9, which turns out to occupy the position of a macrodiatonic fifth, specifically a macro-flattone fifth.

Subgroup: 3.5.7.17

Comma list: 3125/3087, 2025/2023

Sval mapping: [⟨1 -2 -4 2], ⟨0 6 10 1]]

Full no-twos 17-limit

This exploits the Sirius tuning of the 25/21 generator being close to 13/11 (in order to split 7/5 evenly); additionally this tempers out 459/455, equating 27/13 to 35/17.

3.5.11 subgroup temperaments

Polaris

Alnilam

Effectively a microtemperament, Alnilam takes a generator of an 81/55 flat fifth and equates 9 of them with 11/9. The name was given by CompactStar to continue with the theme of naming no-twos temperaments after proper star names, but also to indirectly reference mavila.
