This page is a catalog of tunings according to my in-progress system of music theory and describing tunings.

Colors Diagram Ploidacot name Associated temperaments notes
1 haploid monocot pythagorean, meantone, schismic note about chain-of-fifths temperaments such as meantone
2 dicot rastmic, mohajira strong 2.3.11
2 alpha-dicot semaphore, monzismic 3.5 fourths ≈ 11/4
2 diploid diaschismic average of meantone and schismic 5/4
3 tricot slendric strong 2.3.7
3 alpha-tricot 2197/2187 (subset of kleismic) strong 2.3.25.13 (splits 9/8 into 24:25:26:27)
3 beta-tricot cake (45/44), porcupine (55/54), 4000/3993 good 11/10 but not 5 or 11 (gravity doubles it and does have both)
3 triploid augmented 12edo major third
4 tetracot tetracot 2.3.5.11
4 alpha-tetracot vulture
4 beta-tetracot 99/98 243/242 2.3.7.11
4 gamma-tetracot has a major third as flat as 12edo's is sharp
4 diploid dicot hemipyth combination of all 2-color tunings
4 diploid alpha-dicot shrutar
4 tetraploid diminished 12edo minor third
5 pentacot 4.8 fifths ≈ 7/1 (0.5¢ error)
5 alpha-pentacot magic
5 beta-pentacot
5 gamma-pentacot amity very accurate 2.3.5.7 but the 5 and 7 are awkward in opposite directions
