Hi there.

#1. First and foremost, I don't like doublewide temperament but I just want to demonstrate the symmetry within the chord progression (major-minor, minor-major, major-minor, minor-major). In the doublewide example, the equivalence interval is 2/1 and the period is 600 cents. In the meantone example, the equivalence interval is 4/1 and the period is 2/1.

#2. FYI, both examples were created using the same sequence file, only the actual scales were different.

Here it is:

Does anyone like doublewide? It's one of the temperaments supported by 22, but I don't see it getting any play. If you want to focus more on the primes to 11 other than 5, the 48 version is good. In either case, two parallel chains of minor thirds.
