The tetrameantone temperament is a nonoctave meantone temperament, tempering out the 81/80 in the 4.3.5 subgroup and repeating at the double octave 4/1. It is generated by 4/3 and, like in normal meantone temperament, 4 of them make a 8/5 plus an octave.

Tetrameantone on tritave

Tritave-repeating tetrameantone (3.4.5 subgroup) is made by cutting off the 4/3 interval range of the tetratave scale. extension will start at 3.4.5.14 subgroup. If we want strict no-twos subgroup, will be 3.5.13.
