There are some alternative mappings of the 7-limit meantone, including [[Meantone family #Flattone|flattone]], [[Meantone family #Dominant|dominant]] and [[Meantone family #Sharptone|sharptone]].

==== Flattone ====

~~'''~~Flattone~~'''~~ is an alternative extension of meantone, which 7/4 is represented by a diminished seventh rather than augmented sixth. The fifth interval is adjusted narrower, nine of which give 8/7 and thirteen of which give 10/7 with octave reduction. Alternatively, stacking three minor thirds results in a diminished seventh that is close to 7/4.

==== Dominant ====

~~'''~~Dominant~~'''~~ is an alternative extension of meantone, which 7/4 is represented by a minor seventh rather than augmented sixth. This results equating 6/5 with 7/6 and 5/4 with 9/7, or tempering out [[36/35]] (septimal quarter tone) and [[64/63]] (Archytas comma).

==== Sharptone ====

~~'''~~Sharptone~~'''~~ is a low-accuracy temperament which 7/4 is represented by a major sixth. This results equating 7/6 with 9/8 and 4/3 with 7/5, or tempering out [[21/20]] and [[28/27]].

Sharptone is a low-accuracy temperament which 7/4 is represented by a major sixth. This results equating 7/6 with 9/8 and 4/3 with 7/5, or tempering out [[21/20]] and [[28/27]].
