Let T be a regular temperament on JI group G and let H be a JI group containing G, but of one rank higher. A strong extension U on H is natural if the commas tempered out by T induces the presence of the added basis element of H. A strong extension U on H is (less formally) canonical if it is the most efficient (accurate and low-complexity) strong extension of T to H.
