'''3/4-comma meantone''' is a tuning of [[meantone]] where the [[3/2|fifth]] is flattened by 3/4 of the [[81/80|syntonic comma]], producing a fifth of 685.825 cents. This is approximated well by [[7edo]]. | '''3/4-comma meantone''' is a tuning of [[meantone]] where the [[3/2|fifth]] is flattened by 3/4 of the [[81/80|syntonic comma]], producing a fifth of 685.825 cents.

In terms of how [[just intonation]] intervals are mapped, 3/4-comma meantone is severely inaccurate within a meantone framework, particularly in terms of its 5/4. It might make more sense to interpret it as a different 5-limit temperament instead of meantone: [[deeptone]]. 3/4-comma’s fifth works better as a deeptone generator. | In terms of how [[just intonation]] intervals are mapped, 3/4-comma meantone is severely inaccurate within a meantone framework, particularly in terms of its [[5/4]].

One way of extending deeptone into the [[7-limit]], [[11-limit]] and [[13-limit]] is the [[jamesbond]] temperament. | One way of extending deeptone into the [[7-limit]], [[11-limit]] and [[13-limit]] is the [[jamesbond]] temperament. | ||
