The [[7/4]] of septimal meantone is the augmented sixth (C-A#), and other septimal intervals are [[7/6]], the augmented second (C-D#), [[7/5]], the augmented fourth (C-F#), and [[21/16]], the augmented third (C-E#). Septimal meantone tempers out the common 7-limit commas [[126/125]] and [[225/224]] and in fact can be defined as the 7-limit temperament that tempers out any two of 81/80, 126/125 and 225/224.

Undecimal meantone maps the [[11/8]] to the double augmented third (C-Ex), and tridecimal meantone maps the [[13/8]] to the double augmented fifth (C-Gx). Note 13/11 is conflated with 6/5, represented by the minor third. Note also 11/10~13/12 is the double augmented unison; 12/11, double diminished third; and 14/13, minor second.

===== Meantonic =====
===== Meantonic =====
Dubbed ''meantonic'' here, this extension maps the 17/16 to the triple augmented seventh (C-Bx#) octave reduced, and 19/16 to the quadruple augmented unison (C-Cxx). The major second is now 19/17, and 17/16 is conflated with 19/18, as do all the other extensions discussed below. 31edo also conflates 17/16~19/18 with 16/15 whereas 50edo conflates all of 17/16, 18/17, 19/18, and 20/19, so a good tuning would be somewhere in this range.

===== Meantoid =====
===== Meantoid =====
Dubbed ''meantoid'' here, this extension maps 17/16~19/18 to the augmented unison (C-C#) and 19/16 to the augmented second (C-D#). For any tuning flatter than 12edo, the sizes of 17/16 (augmented unison) and 18/17 (minor second) are inverse, so genuine septendecimal and undevicesimal harmony cannot be expected.

===== Huygens =====
===== Huygens =====
Dubbed ''huygens'' here, this extension is perhaps the most practical, as it maps 17/16 to the minor second (C-Db), and 19/16 to the minor third (C-Eb), suitable for a system generated by a mildly tempered fifth.
