The revision contents are below, presented both in the original Wikispaces Wikitext format, and in HTML exactly as Wikispaces rendered it.

Original Wikitext content:

In 1/5-comma [[meantone]] temperament, each perfect fifth is tempered by a fifth of a [[Syntonic Comma|syntonic comma]] from its just value of [[3_2|3/2]]. This results in major sevenths being exactly 15/8 (and minor seconds being exactly 16/15).

1/5-comma meantone is practically identical to the closed system of 43edo (although technically there is a slight difference).
