* [[576:729:864:1024]] is found on the dominant scale degree (V or {{Frac|3|2}}) of the [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]] diatonic scale.
 
* [[4:5:6:7]], the ''harmonic seventh chord'', is a [[concord]] in the 7-limit, often used as a tuning target in {{w|Harmonic seventh chord #Barbershop seventh|barbershop music}}.
* [[70:90:105:126]] (1/1 - 9/7 - 3/2 - 9/5)
 
* [[28:35:42:50]] is a [[condissonant]] chord, and one of the possible interpretations of the dominant seventh in the starling, marvel, and septimal meantone temperaments.

* [[128:160:192:225]], a 5-limit interpretation of an inversion of the {{w|Neapolitan chord|''Neapolitan''}} or {{w|Augmented sixth chord #German sixth|''German sixth chord''}}, is found rooted at the ♭II ({{Frac|16|15}}) and ♭VI ({{Frac|8|5}}) of the [[duodene]]. ([[225/128]] is often considered an augmented sixth rather than a minor seventh, but in septimal meantone and [[marvel]] temperament this chord is tuned identically to 4:5:6:7, and in [[12edo]] and its multiples it is tuned identically to 36:45:54:64 and 20:25:30:36.)

* [[70:90:105:126]] (1/1–9/7–3/2–9/5) is the ''subharmonic seventh chord'', a [[utonal]] [[9-odd-limit]] tetrad which is the inversion of [[6:7:9:10]], the subharmonic sixth chord.

* [[28:36:42:49]] is a septimal dominant seventh chord. A tempered version of this chord is found in the diatonic scale of [[superpyth]] temperament.
