<h2>IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES</h2>
'''1/2-comma meantone''' is the tuning of [[meantone]] temperament in which each perfect fifth is tempered by a half of a [[syntonic comma]] from its just value of [[3/2]]. This results in minor sevenths being exactly [[9/5]] (and major seconds being exactly [[10/9]]).

In this system, the major thirds are exactly [[100/81]] or approximately 365 [[cent]]s, thus bordering on neutral thirds. The fifths of this temperament fall between those of [[26edo]] and [[33edo]], but closer to 33, which is the best small number candidate for a closed system approximating this meantone. If you want more precision, [[125edo]] using the bb [[val]] flat 5th is audibly indistinguishable from a closed system of half-comma meantone, with an error measured in thousandths of a cent.

This results in minor sevenths being exactly 9/5 (and major seconds being exactly 10/9).&lt;br /&gt;
For a tuning with so flat a fifth, the 7-limit [[extension]] that preserves [[7-odd-limit]] [[diamond monotone]] is [[flattertone]]. Otherwise the septimal meantone mapping has the sizes of [[7/6]] and [[8/7]] swapped, and the flattone mapping has the sizes of [[7/5]] and [[10/7]] swapped.
