Still trying to figure out why sharptone exists as a septimal extension to meantone, when the only EDO it seems to really work for is 5EDO, and then the other equal temperaments listed under it are 12d and 7d (the latter being way over on the flat end of the usable meantone tuning spectrum). Seems like this name should have been saved for a more useful subset of the sharp approximate half of the meantone tuning spectrum.

Errors in edolists
The edolists are very flawed. How is 53edo a dominant meantone?! PiotrGrochowski (info, talk, contribs) 15:59, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
Typo in Septimal Meantone section?
In the Septimal Meantone section, it says that nine fifths are needed to reach the interval for 7, C ~ A#. I count ten fifths, and so does the Wikipedia article on Septimal Meantone Temperament.
| Note | Fifthspan |
|---|---|
| C | 0 |
| G | 1 |
| D | 2 |
| A | 3 |
| E | 4 |
| B | 5 |
| F# | 6 |
| C# | 7 |
| G# | 8 |
| D# | 9 |
| A# | 10 |
Edit: And the table in the Meantone vs Meanpop page also says ten fifths for C - A#.
Are we missing something?

Sharptone?
Still trying to figure out why sharptone exists as a septimal extension to meantone, when the only EDO it seems to really work for (that is, without a 'd' wart) is 5EDO, and then the other equal temperaments listed under it are 12d and 7d (the latter being way over on the flat end of the usable meantone tuning spectrum); meanwhile, Dominant also works for 5EDO, since B♭ is enharmonic to A in n5EDO. Seems like this name should have been saved for a more useful subset of the sharp approximate half of the meantone tuning spectrum. Lucius Chiaraviglio (talk) 12:04, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
