!
12-tone well temperament Rameau (1726). The French well temperaments (temperament ordinaire) included some beating fifths that are tuned larger than a 2:3 ratio, to allow more of the quarter-comma meantone fifths to be included. The fifths between B♭ and B are each narrowed by 1/4 quintal (Syntonic) comma. B-F♯ and F♯-C♯ are tuned as 2:3 ratios, C♯-G♯ is narrowed by 1/6 comma (here the quintal comma is also used), and the remaining note D♯|E♭ is positioned so that E♭-B♭ and G♯-D♯ are both larger than a 2:3 ratio by the same amount.
