[[Septimal meantone]], which is well-represented by the historically prevalent [[quarter-comma meantone]], tempers together all three of the tritones (10/7~36/25~64/45) and sevenths (9/5~16/9~25/14), so either of the above interpretations may be relevant for half-diminished seventh chords found in common-practice music.

In [[archytas]] temperament, which tempers out [[64/63]], a ~[[16/9]] minor seventh is equated with ~[[7/4]], a ~64/45 diminished fifth is equated with ~[[7/5]], and the ~[[35/24]] ratio between ~7/4 and ~6/5 is equated with a ~[[3/2]] perfect fifth, yielding ~~another~~ 7-odd-limit essentially tempered chord:

* [[5:6:7:9]] is a highly [[concordant]] 7-limit interpretation of the half-diminished seventh, found in the [[Ringer_scale|Ringer 5]] scale and [[Euler-Fokker genus|genus]] 32{{dot}}5{{dot}}7, and tempered together with 45:54:64:81 in archytas temperament.

* [[60:70:84:105]] (1/1 - 7/6 - 7/5 - 7/4) is a subharmonic chord.

* [[20:24:28:35]] is a [[condissonant]] chord found in genus 3{{dot}}5{{dot}}7, and tempered together with 45:54:64:80 in archytas temperament.

* [[35:42:50:63]] is a [[condissonant]] chord found in genus 32{{dot}}52{{dot}}7, and tempered together with 25:30:36:45 in starling temperament.
