| Temperament | Generator (cents) | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 1/1-comma “meantone” (actually mavila) | 680.449 | Not meantone but included for reference |
| 7edo | 685.714 | Not meantone. It and anything flatter than it cannot generate a 12-tone MOS. |
| 3/4-comma meantone | 685.825 | Whole tone is not between 10/9 and 9/8, so whether it counts as meantone is very questionable. |
| 11/15-comma meantone | 686.184 | Whole tone not between 10/9 and 9/8 |
| 8/11-comma meantone | 686.314 | Whole tone not between 10/9 and 9/8 |
| 5/7-comma meantone | 686.593 | Whole tone not between 10/9 and 9/8 |

| 1/2-comma meantone | 691.202 | Close to 92edo, 59edo. Historically significant (see historical temperaments. Whole tone not between 10/9 and 9/8 (it’s exactly 10/9) |
| 7/15-comma meantone | 691.919 | Close to 85edo. This is the first tuning on this list which is unambiguously meantone, since the whole tone is between 10/9 and 9/8. |
| 6/13-comma meantone | 692.029 | |
| 5/11-comma meantone | 692.179 | |
| 4/9-comma meantone | 692.397 | Close to 26edo |

| 2/5-comma meantone | 693.352 | Close to 45edo |
| 5/13-comma meantone | 693.683 | Close to 64edo |
| 3/8-comma meantone | 693.890 | Close to 83edo |
| 4/11-comma meantone | 694.134 | Almost exactly 1/3 Pythagorean comma meantone |
| 5/14-comma meantone | 694.274 | |
| 1/3-comma meantone | 694.786 | Close to 19edo. Historically significant (see historical temperaments. |
| 5/16-comma meantone | 695.234 | |
| 4/13-comma meantone | 695.338 | |
| 3/10-comma meantone | 695.503 | Close to 88edo |
| 2/7-comma meantone | 695.81 | Close to 69edo. Historically significant (see historical temperaments. |
| 3/11-comma meantone | 696.09 | Close to 50edo |
| 4/15-comma meantone | 696.22 | Close to 81edo, close to golden meantone |
| 1/4-comma meantone | 696.578 | Close to 31edo. Historically significant (see historical temperaments. |
| 3/13-comma meantone | 696.992 | |
| 2/9-comma meantone | 697.176 | Historically significant (see historical temperaments. |
| 3/14-comma meantone | 697.346 | Close to 74edo. Historically significant (see historical temperaments. |
| 1/5-comma meantone | 697.654 | Close tp 43edo. Historically significant (see historical temperaments. |
| 3/16-comma meantone | 697.923 | |
| 2/11-comma meantone | 698.045 | Close to 55edo. |
| 1/6-comma meantone | 698.371 | Close to 67edo. Historically significant (see historical temperaments. |
| 2/13-comma meantone | 698.646 | |
| 1/7-comma meantone | 698.883 | Close to 79edo, 91edo. Historically significant (see historical temperaments. |
| 2/15-comma meantone | 699.088 | |
| 1/8-comma meantone | 699.267 | |
| 1/9-comma meantone | 699.565 | |
| 1/10-comma meantone | 699.804 | |
| 1/11-comma meantone | 700.000 | Effectively indistinguishable from 12edo. Does not generate a 19-tone MOS scale, so whether it counts as meantone is very questionable. |
| 1/12-comma meantone | 700.163 | No 19-tone MOS |
| 1/13-comma meantone | 700.301 | No 19-tone MOS |
| 1/14-comma meantone | 700.419 | No 19-tone MOS |
| 1/15-comma meantone | 700.521 | No 19-tone MOS |
| 1/16-comma meantone | 700.611 | No 19-tone MOS |
| 0/1-comma “meantone” (Pythagorean tuning) | 701.955 | Not meantone but included for reference. 9/8 is exact. Anything sharper will have whole tones not between 10/9 and 9/8, along with continuing to lack a 19-tone MOS. |
