m flattone *does* extend 5-limit meantone; I am aware the main page for meantone discusses both 5-limit meantone and septimal meantone because the latter is canonical Tag: Reverted |

'''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. | '''Flattone''' is an alternative [[extension]] to [[5-limit]] [[meantone]], the [[temperament]] that [[tempering out|tempers out]] the [[81/80|syntonic comma (81/80)]].
