:::: Fair enough. And while we're on the subject of streamlining, I would recommend a reorganization so that the main article starts with 5-limit Meantone (and its tuning spectrum table either reflects this or also includes the other major 7-limit extensions), and Septimal Meantone is moved to its own article like Flattone, Dominant, etc. (also getting its own tuning spectrum table if the tuning spectrum tables are not all merged).  I can think of pros and cons for merged and separate tuning spectrum tables.  But since past historical use of Meantone ''usually'' didn't pay much attention to septimal intervals, putting Septimal Meantone ahead of all of the others might not be the best way to organize things, given that modern use (which eventually will also be historical, and arguably already is for the early-to-mid 20th Century) has usage of Dominant being, um, dominant.  [[User:Lucius Chiaraviglio|Lucius Chiaraviglio]] ([[User talk:Lucius Chiaraviglio|talk]]) 17:15, 26 March 2025 (UTC)

== Replace 7-limit mohajira with 2.3.5.11 ==
The page states that mohajira makes more sense as an 11-limit temperament than 7-limit. I personally didn't even know that mohajira had a canonical mapping of 7 at all.
<s>Plus it would finally give 2.3.5.11 porcupine something to compare with!</s>
