Temperament selection

[Jason Kanter]

Attaching thumbnails of  Vallotti, Young, Vallotti-Young, Moore, Broadwood
Best, Coleman 10, and Coleman 11.

Using the frame of reference of ET major thirds as 13.7 cents expanded:

To arrange them from "closest to ET" to most extreme, the sequence would be:
Coleman 10, (thirds ranging from 10.7 to 15.7 cents)
Moore (9.7 to 15.7)
Coleman 11 (7.7 to 17.7)
Broadwood Best (6.7 to 17.7)
===
The Vallotti-Young group all have very similar extent of extremes, all
reaching 21.5 cents, which is the largest "acceptable" major third in any
well temperament.
Young has a single most-contracted major third (C, 5.4 cents) and a single
most-expanded major third (F#, 21.5 cents) and smoothly changes the sizes of
the thirds around the circle of fifths; both the Vallotti and the
Vallotti-Young have three equal smallest thirds (5.9) and three equal
largest thirds (21.5), and adjust the intermediate thirds smoothly but in
slightly larger steps than the Vallotti.
===
There are many WTs in between these two groups.
