The 7-odd-limit is the set of all rational intervals for which neither the numerator nor the denominator of the frequency ratio exceeds 7, once all powers of 2 are removed. To the 5-odd-limit, it adds 3 interval pairs involving 7.

Below is a list of all octave-reduced intervals in the 7-odd-limit.

Ratio Size (¢) Color name Name(s)
8/7 231.174 r2 ru 2nd septimal supermajor second
7/6 266.871 z3 zo 3rd septimal minor third
7/5 582.512 zg5 zogu 5th narrow tritone / Huygens tritone
10/7 617.488 ry4 ruyo 4th high tritone / Euler's tritone
12/7 933.129 r6 ru 6th septimal supermajor sixth
7/4 968.826 z7 zo 7th harmonic seventh

The smallest equal division of the octave which is consistent in the 7-odd-limit is 4edo; that which is distinctly consistent in the same is 27edo.
