<h2>IMPORTED REVISION FROM WIKISPACES</h2>
In 1/2-comma [[Meantone|meantone]] temperament, each perfect fifth is tempered by a half of a [[Syntonic_Comma|syntonic comma]] from its just value of [[3/2|3/2]]. This results in minor sevenths being exactly 9/5 (and major seconds being exactly 10/9).

In this system, the "major thirds" are exactly 100/81 or approximately 365 cents, thus bordering on neutral thirds. The fifths of this temperament are even narrower than those of [[26edo]], which is the most likely candidate for a closed system approximating this meantime. </pre></div>
