Wurschmidt

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 (all equated with 128/125).

Squares, 17 & 31, is an index-2 subtemperament, which can be considered a 2.3.7.11.23.25 temperament, with a generator of 32/25~23/18~14/11~9/7. However, it is most accurately interpreted as a no-7s temperament. (You can't add 7 to a strong extension of Wurschmidt without high damage.)
