User:BudjarnLambeth/Table of n-comma meantone generators

This user page is editable by any wiki editor.

As a general rule, most users expect their user space to be edited only by themselves, except for minor edits (e.g. maintenance) and user talk pages.

However by including this message box, the author of this user page has indicated that this page is open to contributions from other users (e.g. content-related edits).

Here are all meantone tunings that can be written in the form "n-comma meantone", where n is a fraction between 0 and 1 with a denominator 18 or smaller. Also included are 5, 7 and 12edo (to delineate MOS shapes), as well as a few other notable meantone tunings (e.g. 4/25-comma).

The comma being divided here is the syntonic comma (81/80).

Temperaments that fall outside of the diamond monotone range will not provide most of the advantages that meantone usually provides, but they are included for completeness.
