3-d ("planar") temperaments request

Hi Gene,

I'd like to include a table in my paper which summarizes a bunch of 7-
limit, codimension-1 temperaments.

As you'd guess, for each, I want a set of three generators, one of
which generates 2:1 all by itself. And then the mappings from these
generators to primes.

The criteria for choosing the generators should be something I can
explain, like, "the second generator is constrained to be narrower
than the first generator, and given that constraint, is chosen so as
to map to the simplest ratio possible. The third generator is
constrained to be smaller than the second generator, and given that
constraint, is chosen so as to map to the simplest ratio possible."

This is the list of commas:

28 27
36 35
49 48

Fortunately for you, I now have a new computer which doesn't crash
all the time. What's the time frame here?

The easiest approach is simply to take the Hermite reduction of a set
of generators for the vals. This would mean if 2 is a generator, it
will give it, otherwise a fraction of an octave. If 2, 3, and 5 will
work, it will always give that; and so forth if you wanted a complete
description of the decision proceedure. This would be easiest for me,
and it seems to me it has a good claim to be the best choice.

By "give the generators", do you mean a TOP tuning plus a mapping?

Hermite reduction would result in a criterion you could explain. Tell
me if that would be acceptable.

Here's what I can do with programs I've already written; I give the
comma, the Hermite reduced mapping, and the rms tuning of the
corresponding generators.

Sure . . . just make sure that you do give a complete description of
the decision procedure, because I do want one.

Sure -- as long as the explanation ends up being something I can
understand, then I should be able to explain it in the paper.

Right, TOP tuning, and as I said above, the mappings from these
generators to (tempered) primes. I guess I could figure it out from
your RMS values, since TOP tuning for the (tempered) primes is easy
to calculate in these cases, and then I can just solve the system of
equations given by your mappings. But it would take me some time . . .
