The seventh partial ([[7_4|7/4]]) is "represented" by an interval which is sharp by over 31 cents, and stands out distinctly from the rest of the chord in a tetrad. Such tetrads are often being used as dominant seventh chords in functional harmony, for which the 5-limit JI version would be 1-5/4-3/2-16/9, and while 12et officially supports septimal meantone via the [[Vals and Tuning Space|val]] <12 19 28 34|, its credentials in the 7-limit department are distinctly cheesy. It cannot be said to represent 11 or 13 at all, though it does a quite credible 17 and an even better 19. Nevertheless its relative tuning accuracy is quite high, and 12edo is the fourth [[The Riemann Zeta Function and Tuning#Zeta%20EDO%20lists|zeta integral edo]]. | The seventh partial ([[7_4|7/4]]) is "represented" by an interval which is sharp by over 31 cents, and stands out distinctly from the rest of the chord in a tetrad.
