*Older music uses 5, 7 limit JI scales (a variety of them; or free JI?)
*Older music: Partchian 11- 13- limit
*Culminates in 11 limit JI and temperaments (mostly as approximations to JI; perhaps also a temperament-temperament like say 22edo).
*Someone defined the concept of linear temperaments and used some rank-2 temperaments for the first time in compositions. (Matrices were known by then! Also linear temperaments arise naturally from equating similar intervals in constant structures)
