Still trying to figure out why sharptone exists as a septimal extension to meantone, when the only EDO it seems to really work for (that is, without a 'd' wart) 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); meanwhile, Dominant also works for 5EDO, since B♭ is enharmonic to A in n5EDO.  Seems like this name should have been saved for a more useful subset of the sharp approximate half of the meantone tuning spectrum.  [[User:Lucius Chiaraviglio|Lucius Chiaraviglio]] ([[User talk:Lucius Chiaraviglio|talk]]) 12:04, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
