Leapfrog is generated by a [[3/2|perfect fifth]] and the [[interval class]] of [[7/1|7]] is found at +15 steps, as an double-augmented fifth (C–G𝄪).  
Leapfrog is generated by a [[3/2|perfect fifth]] and the [[interval class]] of [[7/1|7]] is found at +15 steps, as a double-augmented fifth (C–G𝄪). For this to work, it entails a fifth about 2–3 cents sharp of just; as a result the major third lands comfortably at a near-just [[14/11]] so that it can be extended to the [[2.3.7.11 subgroup]] via tempering out [[896/891]]. The minor third can then be identified with [[13/11]], tempering out [[352/351]] and [[364/363]], which implies [[169/168]] is tempered out as well in this case. Leapfrog is most naturally treated as such, in which it is very efficient.


In regular [[13-limit]] [[leapday]], the mapping for prime 5 is very complex at +21 generator steps. Furthermore, adding prime 5 to rank-3 [[parapythic]] is arguably against the original vision of it as a 2.3.7.11.13-subgroup temperament, so avoiding prime 5 may be preferred for this reason also. This results in no-5's leapday, or leapfrog, which as aforementioned is much lower in badness, but it also allows more tunings to be used: a notable [[patent val]] tuning not appearing in the [[optimal ET sequence]] is [[80edo]], which is approximately the just-13's tuning (as [[10edo]] is used as a [[consistent circle]] of [[~]][[16/13]]'s therein), with 13/8 still tuned slightly flat so qualifying a reasonable tuning for the 2.3.13 subgroup (as evidenced by appearing in the sequence for [[tetris]]). In other words, the only reason 80edo was "disqualified" from leapday is that the mapping for prime 5 constrains the tuning range which is naturally more flexible as a no-5's 13-limit temperament, which is also a sign of leapfrog being very efficient.
A notable [[patent val|patent-val]] edo tuning not appearing in the [[optimal ET sequence]] is [[80edo]], which is approximately the just-13's tuning (as [[10edo]] is used as a [[consistent circle]] of [[~]][[16/13]]'s therein), with 13/8 still tuned slightly flat so qualifying a reasonable tuning for the 2.3.13 subgroup (as evidenced by appearing in the sequence for [[tetris]]).  
 
Strong extensions for prime 5 include [[leapday]] (29 & 46), [[leapweek]] (46 & 63), and [[leapmonth]] (63 & 80), all of which are more complex than vanilla leapfrog. A low-complexity low-accuracy extension is given by [[supermean]] (5de & 17c), where it is merged with [[meantone]]. [[Srutal]] (46 & 80), usually considered as a strong extension of [[diaschismic]], is a weak extension of leapfrog, and yet another weak extension is [[immune]] (29 & 63), which is in turn a strong extension of 5-limit [[immunity]].
