[[Septimal meantone]], which is well-represented by the historically prevalent [[quarter-comma meantone]], tempers together all three of the tritones (10/7~36/25~64/45) and sevenths (9/5~16/9~25/14), so either of the above interpretations may be relevant for half-diminished seventh chords found in common-practice music.

In [[archytas]] temperament, which tempers out [[64/63]], a ~[[16/9]] minor seventh is equated with ~[[7/4]], a ~64/45 diminished fifth is equated with ~[[7/5]], and the ~[[35/24]] ratio between ~7/4 and ~6/5 is equated with a ~[[3/2]] perfect fifth, yielding another 7-odd-limit essentially tempered chord:
