5 . (
Mus .)
A system of compromises in the tuning of organs ,
pianofortes ,
and the like ,
whereby the tones generated with the vibrations of a ground tone are mutually modified and in part canceled ,
until their number reduced to the actual practicable scale of twelve tones to the octave .
This scale ,
although in so far artificial ,
is yet closely suggestive of its origin in nature ,
and this system of tuning ,
although not mathematically true ,
yet satisfies the ear ,
while it has the convenience that the same twelve fixed tones answer for every key or scale ,
C [
sharp ]
becoming identical with D [
flat ],
and so on .

The peculiar physical and mental character of an individual ,
in olden times erroneously supposed to be due to individual variation in the relations and proportions of the constituent parts of the body ,
especially of the fluids ,
as the bile ,
blood ,
lymph ,
etc .
Hence the phrases ,
bilious or choleric temperament ,
sanguine temperament ,
etc .,
implying a predominance of one of these fluids and a corresponding influence on the temperament .
[
1913 Webster ]
{
Equal temperament } (
Mus .),
that in which the variations from mathematically true pitch are distributed among all the keys alike .
{
Unequal temperament } (
Mus .),
that in which the variations are thrown into the keys least used .
