The 1.3.7-odd-limit refers to a constraint on the selection of [[Just intonation|just]] [[Interval class|intervals]] for a scale or composition such that 3 and 7 are the only allowable odd numbers, either for the intervals of the scale, or the ratios between successive or simultaneously sounding notes of the composition. The complete list of 1.3.7-odd-limit intervals within the octave is [[1/1]], [[8/7]], [[7/6]], [[4/3]], [[3/2]], [[12/7]], [[7/4]], and [[2/1]], which is known as the 1.3.7-limit tonality diamond.

The phrase "2.3.7-limit just intonation" usually refers to the 2.3.7-prime-limit and includes primes 2, 3, and 7. When octave equivalence is assumed, an interval can be taken as representing that interval in every possible voicing. This leaves primes 3 and 7, which can be represented in 2-dimensional [[Harmonic lattice diagram|lattice diagrams]], each prime represented by a different dimension.
