Near the harmonic entropy minimum, the simplest temperament of low-complexity JI supported by 7L 4s is [[amity]] and its variant [[hitchcock]]. However, it is unconventional to put forward this as the most common approach to this scale, because the large and steps are extremely unequal, being at least of 5:1 step ratio in [[39edo]], the smallest patent val supporting either of the two.

A temperament which spans more of the tuning range is [[sixix]], but it is high in just intonation error relative to its step sizes. However, it is still notable for representing 17:14 with tolerable accuracy for as much as that's worth.
