Semaphore[43]

Septimin[41]

Catakleismic[53]

Meantone/Domineering[55]

The fifth of 91edo is a suitable generator for meantone. In particular, it closely approximates the 1/7-comma meantone generator. It also closely approximates the optimal 11-limit POTE generator for domineering, one possible alternative extension of meantone.

Outside of meantone, the 91edo fifth is also an accurate generator for Lalagu (12 & 79), which is theoretically very different to meantone (tempering different commas), but audibly very similar.

The scales listed in this section are subsets of Meantone55 in 91edo.
