=== Other subgroups ===
Subgroups ''without'' a "2" ''don't have'' multiple of 2 intervals (eg the 2/1 octave, the 3/2 perfect fifth, the 5/4 major third).
Subgroups ''without'' a "3" ''don't have'' multiple of 3 intervals (eg the 3/1 perfect twelfth, the 3/2 perfect fifth, the 5/3 major sixth).
Subgroups ''without'' a "5" ''don't have'' multiple of 5 intervals (eg the 5/3 major sixth, the 5/4 major third, the 6/5 minor third).
Subgroups ''with'' a "7", "11", or "other ''n''" include new [[xenharmonic]] consonant intervals that can't be found in common [[12edo]] tuning.
