Note count: 11 for {1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 15, 21, 25} ([[7L 5s]])
Bound-violating intervals: [[9/8]], [[10/9]], [[36/25]]
Septimal meantone is an extension of meantone that finds 8/7 as the diminished third and 7/6 as the augmented second, so that using an augmented sixth with a major triad forms a harmonic seventh chord. Though 12 notes is about sufficient for achieving its harmony, often one wants to use a 19-note MOS ([[12L 7s]]) for more freedom and availability.
