a 7th-octave temperament can be described by temperament merging of edos whose greatest common divisor is 7. The most notable 7th-octave family is the [[whitewood family]] – tempering out [[2187/2048]] and associating 4\7 to [[3/2]].

This temperament uses exactly the same 5-limit as 7et, but the harmonic 7 is mapped to an independent generator. It is so named because its [[wedgie]] starts with {{multival| 0 0 7 … }}.
Nitrogen may be described as the {{nowrap| 140 & 1407 }} temperament in the 7-limit. It was named after the 7th element for having a 7th-octave period and also because 140 and 1407 only contain numbers 7 and 14, atomic number and atomic weight of nitrogen respectively. On top of this connection to the number 7, it also reaches the 7th harmonic 7 generators down.

This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

← 6th-octave • 7th-octave • 8th-octave →

A 7th-octave temperament can be described by temperament merging of edos whose greatest common divisor is 7. The most notable 7th-octave family is the whitewood family – tempering out 2187/2048 and associating 4\7 to 3/2.

A comma that frequently appears in 7th-octave temps is akjaysma, which sets 105/64 to be equal to 5\7.

Temperaments discussed elsewhere include:

Nitrogen

Nitrogen may be described as the 140 & 1407 temperament in the 7-limit. It was named after the 7th element for having a 7th-octave period and also because 140 and 1407 only contain numbers 7 and 14, atomic number and atomic weight of nitrogen respectively. On top of this connection to the number 7, it also reaches the 7th harmonic 7 generators down.
