In meantone: link to septimal meantone chords instead of didymic, to clarify that the chord is only “essentially tempered” in the septimal variant of meantone
In meantone: this is not a "true" septimal meantone chord

Note the ~9/5 is simultaneously ~[[16/9]], and the interval between the ~5/4 and ~9/5 is ~[[36/25]].

However, in [[septimal meantone]], which is well-represented by the historically prevalent [[quarter-comma meantone]], that ~[[36/25]] is tempered to ~[[10/7]], making the chord an [[essentially tempered chord]] in the [[9-odd-limit]]. (→ [[Septimal meantone chords]])
