'''140/81''', the '''septimal semidiminished seventh''' or '''septimal inframinor seventh''' is a [[7-limit]] [[interseptimal]] ratio of about 947 cents. It is flat of a minor seventh [[16/9]] by a septimal quartertone [[36/35]], flat of a subminor seventh [[7/4]] by a syntonic comma [[81/80]], and sharp of a supermajor sixth [[12/7]] by a sensamagic comma [[245/243]].  
'''140/81''', the '''septimal inframinor seventh''' is a [[7-limit]] [[interseptimal]] ratio of about 947 [[cent]]s. It is flat of a minor seventh [[16/9]] by a septimal quartertone [[36/35]], flat of a subminor seventh [[7/4]] by a syntonic comma [[81/80]], and sharp of a supermajor sixth [[12/7]] by a sensamagic comma [[245/243]].  


It is also sharp of a major sixth [[5/3]] by a subminor second [[28/27]]. For this fact it is useful in the [[Canovian chord]] and provides the function of a voice leading down to the major sixth. The [[Canou family|canou temperament]] targets this progression and uses it as one of the generators.  
Notice it is also sharp of the just major sixth [[5/3]] by a subminor second [[28/27]]. For this fact it is useful in the [[sensamagic dominant chord]] where it functions as a dissonance yet to be resolved down to the major sixth. The [[Canou family|canou temperament]] targets this progression and uses it as one of the generators.  


The interval is so perfectly approximated by [[19edo]], with an error of 0.05 cents. There are a number of edos that do this equally well, [[171edo]] to name one. The first edo that does this better than 19-edo with patent val is [[660edo]].  
== Approximation ==
It is perfectly approximated by [[19edo]] (15\19), with an error of 0.05 cents, and hence equally well done by the [[enneadecal]] temperament.
