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 | |
