729/490, the complex sensamagic fifth is a 7-limit ratio of about 687 cents, flat of a just fifth 3/2 by a sensamagic comma 245/243.
It arises in just intonation as the difference between the semidiminished fourth 35/27 and the supermajor seventh 27/14, making it a critical tempering target in the Sensamagic dominant chord. However, its distinction from 3/2 is emphasised in the canou family of temperaments, through its accessibility by two steps of the 81/70-generator.
