The 11-limit version of the breed temperament takes the same generators, a 49/40 neutral third and 10/7, and tempers them according to the {243/242, 441/440}...

Of the dilation scales, if we exclude chains of generators such as DE/MOS, the simplest examples will be planar--that is, the note classes can be arranged in a...
These are isosceles triangles in the breed plane, with b(n) = 2n^2+2n+1 notes, b(n-1) otonal tetrads, b(n-2) utonal tetrads, for a total of 4n^2-8n+6 tetrads,...
