For example, [[septimal meantone]] and [[flattone]] are both extensions of [[5-limit]] (2.3.5) [[meantone]] to the [[7-limit]] (2.3.5.7), because C-E (4 fifths) represents [[5/4]] in both. They are different extensions, because in septimal meantone, 7/4 is C-A# (10 fifths), while in flattone, 7/4 is C-Bbb (-9 fifths).
