The fifth of superpyth is supposed to be tuned sharp of just for the accuracy of the overall temperament. Roughly speaking, it ranges from as flat as [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]] (where 3 is tuned just) to 1/2-comma (where 7 is tuned just, between [[52edo|52b-edo]] and [[57edo|57b-edo]]), with 22edo and 27edo being typical endpoints of full 7-limit superpyth's optimal range.
