The second comma of the [[Normal_lists|normal comma list]] defines which 7-limit family member we are looking at. Pajara derives from [[64/63]] and is a popular and well-known choice. Diaschismic adds 2097152/2066715 to obtain 7-limit harmony by more complex methods, but with greater accuracy. Keen adds 2240/2187, echidna 1728/1715 and shrutar [[245/243]], the sensamagic comma. The pajara, diaschismic and keen keep the same 1/2 octave period and fifth generator, but shrutar has a generator of a quarter-tone (which can be taken as [[36/35]], the septimal quarter-tone) and echidna has a generator of 9/7. Adding 4375/4374 does no significant tuning damage, so for that we keep the 5-limit label srutal.
