* 36:45:54:64 (1⁄1–5⁄4–3⁄2–[[16/9|16⁄9]]), the the [[Ptolemaic dominant seventh chord]], is found on the dominant scale degree ([[3/2|3⁄2]] or V) of  [[Ptolemy's intense diatonic scale (Zarlino)|Zarlino]], perhaps the most common 5-limit diatonic.
* [[36:45:54:64]] (1⁄1–5⁄4–3⁄2–[[16/9|16⁄9]]), the ''Ptolemaic dominant seventh chord'', is found on the dominant scale degree ([[3/2|3⁄2]] or V) of  [[Zarlino|Ptolemy's intense diatonic scale (Zarlino)]], perhaps the most common 5-limit diatonic.


* 20:25:30:36 (1⁄1–5⁄4–3⁄2–[[9/5|9⁄5]]), the [[major-minor seventh chord]], combines a major third with the [[consonant]] seventh that would be found in a [[Ptolemaic minor seventh chord]] built on the same root. It is found rooted at 1⁄1 (I) and 4⁄3 (IV) in the [[duodene]].

* [[108:135:160:192]] (1⁄1–5⁄4–[[40/27|40⁄27]]–[[16/9|16⁄9]]) is found on the dominant scale degree (3⁄2 or V) of a diatonic scale with the second degree tuned a comma lower than in Zarlino (10⁄9 instead of 9⁄8), such as in left-handed [[nicetone]].
* [[108:135:160:192]] (1⁄1–5⁄4–[[40/27|40⁄27]]–[[16/9|16⁄9]]) is found on the dominant scale degree (3⁄2 or V) of a diatonic scale with the second degree tuned a comma lower than in Zarlino (10⁄9 instead of 9⁄8), such as in left-handed [[nicetone]].


* [[128:160:192:225]] (1⁄1–5⁄4–3⁄2–[[225/128|225⁄128]]), an inversion of the Neapolitan[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neapolitan_chord] or German sixth[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_sixth_chord#German_sixth] chord, is found rooted at [[16/15|16⁄15]] (♭II) and [[8/5|8⁄5]] (♭VI) in the [[duodene]]. (Although 225⁄128 is often considered an augmented sixth rather than a minor seventh, in [[Meantone_family#Septimal_meantone|septimal meantone]] it is tuned identically to the [[7/4|harmonic seventh]].)
