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. | 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.

It has two main extensions to prime 11, both similarly complex, discussed in [[meantone vs meanpop]], though the one called [[undecimal meantone]] is arguably more elegant as being the merge of septimal meantone and the no-3's 11-limit temperament [[didacus]], which can be seen as every other gen of undecimal meantone. | |||
