Still trying to figure out why sharptone exists as a septimal extension to meantone, when the only EDO it seems to really work for is 5EDO, and then the other equal temperaments listed under it are 12d and 7d (the latter being way over on the flat end of the usable meantone tuning spectrum). Seems like this name should have been saved for a more useful subset of the sharp approximate half of the meantone tuning spectrum.
