Wurschmidt

From Xenharmonic Reference

Würschmidt, Wurschmidt, or Wuerschmidt, 31 & 34, is a temperament that splits 6/1 into 8 slightly sharp 5/4's. It is notable for extending structurally into higher-limit subgroups by tempering together a sequence of diesis-sized superparticulars: 46/45 ~ 47/46 ~ 48/47 ~ 49/48 ~ 50/49.
