Temperaments

Tempering out 540/539 equates 54/49 with 11/10 and leads to swetismic chords. Occurring often in JI scales, it is one of the ways 11-limit harmony gets introduced into 7-limit scales.

It is also called the superpythagorean chromatic semitone or superpythagorean chroma[idiosyncratic term] since, in superpyth temperament, the minor third is 7/6, the major third is 9/7, and the difference between the two is 54/49.

Moving to exotempering, the interval can be tempered out, leading to the 2.3.7-subgroup version of the mujannabic temperament equating 7/6 and 9/7. However, it is usually better to temper out 25/24 instead for a similar structural effect.
