Sharptone, with a wedgie <<1 4 3 4 2 -4||, is a low-accuracy temperament tempering out 21/20 and 28/27. In sharptone, a 7/4 is a major sixth, a 7/6 a whole tone, and a 7/5 a fourth. Genuinely septimal sounding harmony therefore cannot be expected, but it can be used to translate, more or less, 7-limit JI into 5-limit meantone. [[12edo|12edo]] tuning does sharptone about as well as such a thing can be done. | Sharptone, with a wedgie <<1 4 3 4 2 -4||, is a low-accuracy temperament tempering out 21/20 and 28/27.
