In meantone (including [[12edo]]), on which traditional tonal harmony is built, the interval of a diminished fifth [[tempering together|tempers together]] [[36/25]]~[[64/45]]~[[1024/729]], and the minor seventh tempers together [[9/5]]~[[16/9]], giving a chord with an [[intervallic odd limit]] of 25:
* (Meantone) 1/1 ‒ [[6/5]] ‒ [[36/25]] ‒ [[9/5]]
In [[archytas]] temperament, which [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[64/63]], a ~[[16/9]] minor seventh is equated with ~[[7/4]], a ~36/25 diminished fifth is equated with ~[[7/5]], and the ratio between ~7/4 and ~6/5 is equated with a ~[[3/2]] perfect fifth, yielding a [[9-odd-limit]] [[essentially tempered chord]]:
* (Archytas) 1/1 ‒ 6/5 ‒ 7/5 ‒ 7/4, with steps 6/5, 6/5, 5/4
