The interval class for 7 is obtained from two fourths in succession, so that 7/4 is a minor seventh. The 7/6 interval is, like 6/5, now a minor third, and 7/5 is a diminished fifth. An excellent tuning for dominant is [[12edo]], but it also works well with the Pythagorean tuning of pure [[3/2]] fifths, and with [[29edo]], [[41edo]], or [[53edo]]. | The interval class for 7 is obtained from two fourths in succession, so that 7/4 is a minor seventh.

Because dominant entails a near-pure perfect fifth, a small number of generators will not land on an interval close to prime 11. The canonical 11-limit extension takes the tritone as 16/11, which it barely sounds like. The first alternative, domineering, takes the same step as 11/8, which it barely sounds like either. Domination tempers out 77/75 and identifies 11/8 with the augmented third; arnold tempers out 33/32 and identifies 11/8 with the perfect fourth. None of them are nearly as good as the weak extension [[neutrominant]], splitting the fifth as well as the chromatic semitone in two like in all [[rastmic clan|rastmic]] temperaments. | |||
