Talk:Very low accuracy temperaments

Imagine playing a 7–limit song in one of these temperaments PiotrGrochowski (talk) 16:51, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Need help naming the 11/10 extension of antitonic and calculating its xenwiki badness

First, the badness shown on x31eq is parametric badness. It is a badness measure that allows you to control your preferred tradeoff between complexity and accuracy. I have no idea how to calculate the badness that this wiki wants to see on temperament pages.

Second, based on x31eq, I have proposed an 11-limit extension of antitonic that tempers out 11/10 instead of 12/11. This only introduces 0.3 cents of additional error over 12/11, and beats it quite handily in parametric badness. I have given it the name Antietam, but maybe the community can come up with a better name. Bootmii (talk) 02:26, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

Simplest edge cases

I suddenly have an urge to add a temperament which extends pythagorean to the 5-limit by tempering out 5/4. Should I? Squib (talk) 05:48, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

It wouldn't have any patent vals beyond 1, but yeah, it'd be interesting to see what that looks like mathematically. Yourmusic Productions (talk) 07:35, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

I already call that "archon temperament"; I'll be adding it to the list -- VectorGraphics (talk) 22:38, 17 June 2025 (UTC)

Bixby was previously named abomination by CompactStar. [1] And these tempered-out prime harmonics (bixby: 4/3, archon: 5/4, geryon: 8/7) somehow do not affect the results of the CTE tuning. (bixby: 2.5-subgroup JI, archon: 3-limit JI, geryon: 5-limit dicot CTE) --Dummy index (talk) 13:43, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Lol, I'm wondering if we should keep "Bixby" just to keep up the tradition of ridiculous exotemperaments having the coolest sounding names -- VectorGraphics (talk) 14:34, 18 June 2025 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't think "abomination" is a good name, and looking at the edit history, I think it can be considered withdrawn --Dummy index (talk) 14:40, 19 June 2025 (UTC)
