In higher limits, this third takes on a new role: as a neutral third, it is a decent approximation of the 13th subharmonic, and as such 7edo can be seen as a 2.3.13 temperament. This third is a near perfect approximation of the interval [[39/32]]; the equation of 16/13 and 39/32 is called [[512/507|harmoneutral]] temperament. In general, the inclusion of 13 allows the pentad discussed earlier to be continued to an 8:9:10:11:12:13 hexad, although the specific interval 13/12 is inaccurate due to the errors adding up in the same direction. | In higher limits, this third takes on a new role: as a neutral third, it is a decent approximation of the 13th subharmonic, and as such 7edo can be seen as a 2.3.13 temperament.

7edo represents a 7-step closed [[circle of fifths]]. | The seventh of 7edo is almost exactly the 29th harmonic (29/16), which can have a very agreeable sound with harmonic timbres. However it also finds itself nested between ratios such as 20/11 and 9/5, which gives it considerably higher harmonic entropy than 7/4, a much simpler overtone seventh. | ||
7edo represents a 7-step closed [[circle of fifths]], tempering out the Pythagorean chromatic semitone. However, it can also be seen as a circle of neutral thirds, which can be interpreted as 11/9; this is called [[neutron]] temperament. | |||

1/7 can be considered the intersection of sharp [[porcupine]] and flat [[tetracot]] temperaments, as three steps makes a 4th and four a 5th. 2/7 can be interpreted as critically flat [[Mohajira]] or critically sharp [[amity]], and creates mosses of 322 and 2221. | 1/7 can be considered the intersection of sharp [[porcupine]] and flat [[tetracot]] temperaments, as three steps makes a 4th and four a 5th. 2/7 can be interpreted as critically flat [[Mohajira]] or critically sharp [[amity]], and creates mosses of 322 and 2221. | ||

This is in part because 7edo is close to low-complexity JI for its size, and is the second edo with a good fifth for its size (after [[5edo]]), the fifth serving as a generator for the edo's meantone and mavila interpertations. | ||
== Octave stretch or compression == | |||
[[Stretched and compressed tuning|Stretched-octaves]] tunings such as [[11edt]], [[18ed6]] or [[zpi|15zpi]] greatly improves 7edo's approximation of harmonics 3, 5 and 11, at the cost of slightly worsening 2 and 7, and greatly worsening 13. If one is hoping to use 7edo for full [[11-limit]] harmonies, then these are good choices to make that easier. | |||
