* Any meantone tuning with fifths flatter than 2/9-comma (e.g. [[31edo]], quarter-comma, [[50edo]], 1/3-comma) - these include some tritones which are a bit sharper than [[10/7]], and to my ears those just sound unbearably bitter | * Any meantone tuning with fifths flatter than 2/9-comma (e.g. [[31edo]], quarter-comma, [[50edo]], 1/3-comma) - these include some tritones which are a bit sharper than [[10/7]], and to my ears those just sound unbearably bitter | ||
* Any [[leapday]] tuning close to [[46edo]] - the 10/7 tritone gets too sharp which makes the whole scale too bitter, like in the flatter meantone tunings | * Any [[leapday]] tuning close to [[46edo]] - the 10/7 tritone gets too sharp which makes the whole scale too bitter, like in the flatter meantone tunings | ||
