Straddle cluster temperaments are a subset of cluster temperaments, which have generators very close to an equal temperament. They straddle ratios approximated by those equal temperaments. If a small equal temperament contains a vague approximation of a subgroup, its cluster temperaments will be useful for straddling that subgroup.

5edo

5edo is an excellent approximation of 2.3.7 for its size, making it a good example for straddle cluster temperaments. It has four in this subgroup:

  • "Subcloud" (flat of 1\5)
  • "Supercloud" (sharp of 1\5)
  • Straddle Buzzard (flat of 2\5)
  • Straddle Hemiseven (sharp of 2\5)

Quartertone

Half-octave temperaments generated by ~11/8 are especially good at straddling the 11-limit. The foremost examples are Subgauss (found in 74edo) and Supergauss (found in 86edo, generated by the flat 11). They are named for 9801/9800, which equates two Gauss's tritones to an octave.

Paddle

Paddle, short for "Passion straddle", is a 2.-3.+3.5.7 straddle version of Passion. It is especially useful for generating the aberration scale trackdye (5L2m8s), along with a straddle variant of Undecimation. It may be extended with Pentagoth.

Tuning range from 2\25 to 1\12, edos under 100
