If the diesis is treated as a musical interval in its own right as opposed to tempering it out, it is approximately a quarter-tone and so can be used to introduce [[7-limit]] and [[11-limit]] harmony into 5-limit scales. The simplest way to accomplish this is tempering out [[126/125]] and [[4125/4096]] to equate it with [[64/63]] and [[33/32]]. | If the diesis is treated as a musical interval in its own right as opposed to tempering it out, it is approximately a quarter-tone and so can be used to introduce [[7-limit]] and [[11-limit]] harmony into 5-limit scales.

Alternately, tempering out [[5632/5625]] equates it with [[45/44]] in a more accurate but complex way. Extending to the [[13-limit]] happens even more naturally by tempering out [[625/624]] to equate it with [[40/39]]. | ||
