3/7 is on the intersection of [[meantone]] and [[mavila]], and has MOS's of 331 and 21211, making 7edo the first edo with a non-equalized, non-1L''n''s [[pentatonic]] mos. This is in part because 7edo is close to low-complexity JI for its size, and is the second edo with a good fifth for its size (after [[5edo]]), the fifth serving as a generator for the edo's meantone and mavila interpertations. | 3/7 is on the intersection of [[meantone]] and [[mavila]], and has MOS's of 331 and 21211, making 7edo the first edo with a non-equalized, non-1L''n''s [[pentatonic]] mos.

What follows is a comparison of stretched-octave 7edo tunings. | |||
; 7edo | |||
* Step size: 171.429{{c}}, octave size: 1200.0{{c}} | |||
Pure-octaves 7edo approximates all harmonics up to 16 within NNN{{c}}. | |||

* Step size: 171.993{{c}}, octave size: 1204.0{{c}} | |||
Stretching the octave of 7edo by around 4{{c}} results in much improved primes 3, 5 and 11, but much worse primes 7 and 13. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 75.0{{c}}. The 2.3.11.13 WE tuning and 2.3.11.13 [[TE]] tuning both do this. | |||

* Step size: 172.331{{c}}, octave size: 1206.3{{c}} | |||
Stretching the octave of 7edo by around 6{{c}} results in much improved primes 3, 5 and 7, but much worse primes 11 and 14. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 48.7{{c}}. The tuning 18ed6 does this. | |||

* Step size: 172.390{{c}}, octave size: 1206.7{{c}} | |||
Stretching the octave of 7edo by around 7{{c}} results in much improved primes 3, 5 and 11, but much worse primes 7 and 13. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 85.7{{c}}. Its 2.3.5.11.13 WE tuning and 2.3.5.11.13 [[TE]] tuning both do this. | |||

Stretching the octave of 7edo by around NNN{{c}} results in much improved primes 3, 5 and 11, but much worse primes 2, 7 and 13. This approximates all harmonics up to 16 within 83.6{{c}}. The tuning 11edt does this. | |||
