Chromatic pairs
A chromatic pair is a pair of mos scales in some rank-2 temperament (either a full p-limit temperament or a subgroup temperament) that are analogous to the familiar diatonic and chromatic scales of standard tuning. The smaller scale is an albitonic scale (from Latin albus, "white"), named such since the diatonic scale can be played using the white keys of a piano, and the larger of the two is a chromatic scale, analogous to the chromatic scale of standard tuning. Other related scales can be associated to chromatic pairs, namely a haplotonic scale (from Greek haplóos, "single, simple"), analogous to the pentatonic scale of standard tuning and played using the black keys of a piano.
In the sections below, the pair temperaments are listed in order of increasing RMS error, which is an appropriate error measure for subgroups as well as full p-limit groups.
