'''Dominant''' is a [[regular temperament|temperament]] which is an [[extension]] of both [[meantone]] and [[archy]]. It is defined by [[tempering out]] the [[81/80|syntonic comma (81/80)]] and [[64/63|septimal comma (64/63)]] in the 7-limit. It also tempers out the [[36/35|septimal quartertone (36/35)]], as 36/35 = (64/63)(81/80). It is the unique temperament that identifies the [[harmonic seventh chord]] with the [[dominant seventh chord]], which is a familiar feature from [[12edo]]. | '''Dominant''' is a [[regular temperament|temperament]] which is an [[extension]] of both [[meantone]] and [[archy]].

However, it is not very accurate for the same reason that 12edo is inaccurate in the 7-limit, as either 5/4 or 7/4 must be tuned very sharply (with 5/4 reaching over 462 cents in the best tuning of 7/4, and likewise 7/4 reaching over 1006 cents in the best tuning of 5/4).

Thus, the best tuning is a compromise between the two, tuning 3/2 basically just. | ||
The most obvious extension to the 11 and 13-limit is treating the major and minor thirds as [[14/11]] and [[13/11]] as well as 5/4 and 6/5, tempering out [[56/55]] and [[66/65]]. This favors even sharper fifths on the edge of the [[gentle region]]. 29edo tunes this about as well as possible, albeit using the second best approximation of most harmonics. | The most obvious extension to the 11- and 13-limit is treating the major and minor thirds as [[14/11]] and [[13/11]] as well as 5/4 and 6/5, tempering out [[56/55]] and [[66/65]].
