37th-octave temperaments

Fractional-octave temperaments

← 36th-octave • 37th-octave • 38th-octave →

37edo has an extremely precise mapping for the 11th harmonic, and it is a strong 2.5.7.13 tuning besides that, therefore various 37th-octave temperaments occur naturally between any two numbers whose greatest common divisor is 37.

Rubidium

The name of rubidium temperament comes from the 37th element. Developed by Xenllium, rubidium preserves the mappings for the 2.5.7.11.13 subgroup in 37edo and leaves the 3rd harmonic as a generator.

Dzelic

Dzelic ['d͡zɛlɪk] is named after the Slavic letter dzelo, which represents the number 7, as it takes 7 generator grave minor thirds to reach the third harmonic.

14 periods map to 13/10, thus equating a stack of three 11/8 with one 13/10 and making dzelic a jacobin temperament.
