=== Mavila and 16edo ===
=== Mavila ===
In Mavila, the perfect 5th is flatter than in 7edo, so major intervals are below minor and augmented below major. In Mavila the major third approximates 6/5 and the minor third 5/4, tempering out 135/128. This presents no problem to the scheme however, and the rules are applied just the same. The small major third, 81/80 below 6/5 or 81/64 comes to 32/27, the minor 3rd, and the sub minor 3rd remains 7/6.
