	'''Flattone''' is an alternative [[extension]] to [[5-limit]] [[meantone]], the [[temperament]] that [[tempering out\|tempers out]] the [[81/80\|syntonic comma (81/80)]]. It is generated by a fifth that is typically flatter than that of [[septimal meantone]], and nine of those reach the [[pitch class]] of [[8/7]], so that [[7/4]] is a diminished seventh (C-B𝄫), [[7/6]] is a diminished third (C-E𝄫), and [[7/5]] is a doubly diminished fifth (C-G𝄫). Although 7/4 is simpler than in septimal meantone, the full [[9-odd-limit]] [[tonality diamond]] is more complex as the 5 and 7 are reached by going in opposite directions, while also being less accurate.
