+<!-- Note: This was at one point labeled a "Swiss tetrad", seemingly due to a mistaken identification of the "Swiss sixth chord". [[User:Bcmills]] doesn't see how it would actually relate to the Swiss sixth, which can be represented in 5-limit JI as [[256:320:375:450]] and seems closer to a dominant seventh than a subminor one. -->
