The equal temperament [[tempering out|tempers out]] 2109375/2097152 ([[semicomma]]) in the [[5-limit]]; [[245/243]], [[1029/1024]] and [[5120/5103]] in the 7-limit; [[385/384]] and [[441/440]] in the 11-limit. It provides the [[optimal patent val]] for [[7-limit]] [[rodan]], the {{nowrap|41 & 87}} temperament, as well as for 7-limit [[fourfives]], the {{nowrap|60 & 68}} temperament.
