Flattone is an alternative extension of meantone, which 7/4 ~~is represented by~~ a diminished seventh rather than augmented sixth. The fifth interval is adjusted narrower, nine of which give 8/7 and thirteen of which give 10/7 with octave reduction. Alternatively, stacking three minor thirds results in a diminished seventh that is close to 7/4.
