	Regular temperament - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Regular temperament is a system of musical tuning such that each frequency ratio is obtainable as a product of powers of a finite number of generators, or generating frequency ratios.
		The classic example of a regular temperament is meantone temperament, where the generating intervals are usually given in terms of a flat fifth and the octave.
		In studying regular temperaments, it is generally advantageous to regard the temperament as having both a map from p -limit just intonation for some prime p, and a tuning map to particular values for the generators.

		Temperament refers to individual variations in behavioral and emotional reactions that take place as one matures from one’s genetic make-up to their final observable personality in later adult life.
		The significance of temperament in the interactions that occur in the course of nurturing activities during this stage, therefore, must be considered within the developing intricacies of the infant’s social initiations and responses.
		When discussing temperament in relation to the adolescent one must realize that temperament is vacillating constantly and that to get a stable picture of it one must understand the underlying motives and drives of the individual.

	Understanding Temperaments
		Regular temperaments are characterized by having all fifths except the wolf tempered by the same amount.
		Temperaments in which the good fifths (11) are all the same size (except for the wolf), such as Aaron's meantone we have just seen, are called regular.
		But it is atypical of irregular temperaments because it is completely regular and all keys are musically equivalent with their uniform and active thirds (and no stable thirds as in meantone).

	Regular temperament
		If the generators are all of the prime numbers up to a given prime p, we have what is called p- limit just intonation.
		In studying regular temperaments, it is generally advantageous to regard the temperament as having both a map from p-limit just intonation for some prime p, and a tuning map to particular values for the generators.
		The kernel of the map, consisting of p-limit intervals called the commas of the temperament, can be used to gain insight into the properties of the temperament.

		Other circulating temperaments have been devised in modern times, almost all of them suffering from the grave defect that they are difficult to commit to memory and therefore difficult to use in practice (you can't tune an organ with a book in one hand).

		For these reasons equal temperament was never used for tuning the harpsichord during its historic period, though the system had been known for centuries.
		While the temperaments are well documented, there is still some uncertainty about their use in the historic period.
		The historic temperaments usually have several pure fifths, and maybe some pure thirds as well, and are much easier for an amateur to tune than equal temperament.

	Mathematics of musical scales
		The tempering can involve either the irregularities of well temperament or be constructed as a regular temperament, either some form of equal temperament or some other regular meantone, but in all cases will involve the fundamental features of meantone temperament.
		Meantone, however, is not the only worthwhile temperament nor is the equal division of the octave into twelve parts the only reasonable way to so divide it.
		The interval 81/80, called the syntonic comma or comma of Didymus, is the key comma of meantone temperament, and the fact that it becomes a unison in meantone temperament is a key fact of Western music.

	FXIC -- Temperament - Basic Constructs of Temperament
		Temperament research began in the late 1950’s with the work of Alexander Thomas, Stella Chess, and associates.
		According to researchers who adhere to Thomas and Chess' constructs of temperament, approximately 65 percent of all children fit one of three patterns.
		Forty percent of children are generally regarded as "easy or flexible," 10 percent are regarded as "difficult or active," and the final 15 percent are regarded as "slow to warm up or cautious." The other 35 percent of children are a combination of these patterns.

		In this temperament the major thirds are perfectly in tune and the fourths and fifths slightly compromised - except for one hideously catastrophic fifth, usually between G sharp and E flat, the famous 'wolf'.
		However, this is now a 'regular' temperament, for in keys with less than four accidentals the notes of the major scale are in the same relative positions, the thirds all pure.
		These forty-eight pieces are designed to exhibit the full range of key-colour available from a circulating temperament, and careful examination of the texts shows that Bach varied his compositional technique according to the key he was writing in.

	Family Issue Facts, Temperament, Bulletin 4358
		Research has identified nine traits of temperament: activity level, rhythmicity or regularity, approach or withdrawal (adaptability to new situations), adaptability (in general), sensory threshold, quality of mood, intensity of reaction or response, distractibility, and persistence or attention span.
		Behaviorally, these temperament traits seem to consistently group themselves into three different patterns or constellations: the “easy” child, the “difficult” child, and the “slow to warm up” child.
		One of the later additions to the temperament theory was called “Goodness of Fit” — the match between a child’s temperament and the demands of his or her environment (family, school, child care setting).

	Temerament / Key Character Tuning - Part 4
		The well temperaments, both in theory and practice, arose out of adjustments from meantone: fudging the sharps upward and the flats downward to make more keys usable (while not necessarily wanting all those keys to sound the same as one another), compromising the musical quality of them as they went along.
		The advantage of these temperaments for the well-tempered clavier is that they contain strong key-color contrasts that promote the 'characters of the keys.' They also promote strong tonality, and there is always a pleasing variety when one modulates.
		These types of temperaments can no longer be classed as an early form of equal temperament because the basic philosophy of twentieth-century equal temperament is to promote atonality with a neutral homogenized sound that has no color contrasts and no variety among the keys.

		For example, in mean tone, C's deviation is 0 and G's deviation is -3; this means that G is 3 cents lower relative to C than it would be in equal temperament (a bit confusing, I know).
