Despite being approximated by the diminished octave in systems like [[septimal meantone]], and even being called the '''small septimal diminished octave''' by some musicians due to analogy with [[21/20]] being called the "large septimal chroma", 40/21 is a major seventh in just intonation notation systems such as [[Sagittal notation]], [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]] and [[Functional Just System]], viewed as the [[243/128|Pythagorean major seventh (243/128)]] altered by [[5120/5103]].
