: There are better extension options available when tuned flat of 5edo. -- [[User:VectorGraphics|VectorGraphics]] ([[User talk:VectorGraphics|talk]]) 19:21, 10 July 2025 (UTC)

:: It wasn't originally my question, but let me try rephrasing it: Why is the POTE generator for it specified as being so close to 7\12 when 12edo is way out of the range for which Sharptone is optimal (unless you need it for pitch-bending the 7/4 up on a standard 12edo fretted instrument), and 5edo is the crossover point between Dominant and Sharptone, and Sharptone would give the most just 7/4 or 8/7 with a fifth somewhat sharp of the diatonic range of Meantone temperament?
