Quintile family
The quintile family of temperaments tempers out the quintile comma (monzo: [-28 25 -5⟩, ratio: 847 288 609 443 / 838 860 800 000).
Quintile
Quintile reaches the interval class of 5 by five perfect fifths (i.e. a major seventh) plus two periods of 1/5-octave. It is a member of the syntonic–diatonic equivalence continuum with n = 5, so it equates a Pythagorean limma with a stack of five syntonic commas.
The temperament was first introduced by Mike Battaglia in 2011 along with other temperaments in the continuum mentioned above[1]. It did not get named until 2012, when Petr Pařízek called it pental[2]. In 2024, the community has decided to rename it for fear of confusion with the more common usage of the term pental to refer to the 5-limit.
