The seventh harmonic is particularly wide as far as equivalences go. There are (at absolute most) ~3.9 heptataves within the human hearing range; imagine if that were the case with octaves. If one does indeed deal with heptatave equivalence, this fact shapes one's musical approach dramatically. | The seventh harmonic is particularly wide as far as equivalences go.

Incidentally, one way to treat 7/1 as an equivalence is to eliminate the primes 2, 3, and 5 and use the 7:11:13:(49) chord as the fundamental complete sonority in a very similar way to the 4:5:6:(8) chord in meantone Whereas in meantone it takes four [[3/2]] to get to [[5/4]], here it takes seven [[13/7]] to get to [[11/7]] (tempering out the comma 63412811/62748517 in the 7.11.13 subgroup). This temperament yields 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25, and 47 note MOS. | |||
