vanish / temper out

[Joe Monzo]

Because temperaments alter most of the pitches on the just intonation lattice, they usually result in the "tempering out" or "vanishing" of one or more unison-vectors. Thus, the alteration of pitches in a musical tuning results in certain pairs of pitches being represented by the same note.

For examples on the 5-limit JI lattice, see "bingo-card".
