Since [[12edo]] is a good tuning of dimipent and supports both diminished temperament and septimal meantone, and the historically prevalent [[quarter-comma meantone]] is a good tuning of septimal meantone (although it was historically usually analyzed as a 5-limit temperament), any of the above interpretations may be relevant for diminished chords found in common-practice and contemporary music.
