The '''2.5.7 subgroup''' is the subgroup of [[just intonation]] comprising the intervals reachable by stacking [[2/1]], [[5/4]], and [[7/4]], with the exclusion of [[3/2]] (adding which would result in the full [[7-limit]]).

Notable intervals include 5/4 (the pental major third), 7/4 (the septimal subminor seventh), 7/5 (the lesser septimal tritone), 10/7 (the greater septimal tritone), 28/25 (the septimal quasi-meantone), and 35/32 (the septimal neutral second).
Notable intervals include:
* 5/4 (the pental major third)
* 7/4 (the septimal subminor seventh)
* 7/5 (the lesser septimal tritone)
* 10/7 (the greater septimal tritone)
* 28/25 (the septimal quasi-meantone)
* 35/32 (the septimal neutral second)
* 49/40 (a neutral third)


An especially efficient temperament in 2.5.7 is [[Didacus]], 2.5.7[25 & 31], which is generated by a tempered 28/25 and tempers out 3136/3125, the interval between a stack of two 7/5 tritones and three 5/4 major thirds. Didacus is a 6-form cluster temperament.

Didacus tempering sets L = m + s.
It sounds like soft [[citric]] (4L2s) with aberrismas.
 
Didacus tempering sets L = m + s. 37edo equates 49/40 to 16/13.

The 2.5.7 subgroup is the subgroup of just intonation consisting of the intervals reachable by stacking 2/1, 5/4, and 7/4, with the exclusion of 3/2 (adding which would result in the full 7-limit).

Notable intervals include:

  • 5/4 (the pental major third)
  • 7/4 (the septimal subminor seventh)
  • 7/5 (the lesser septimal tritone)
  • 10/7 (the greater septimal tritone)
  • 28/25 (the septimal quasi-meantone)
  • 35/32 (the septimal neutral second)
  • 49/40 (a neutral third)

An especially efficient temperament in 2.5.7 is Didacus, 2.5.7[25 & 31], which is generated by a tempered 28/25 and tempers out 3136/3125, the interval between a stack of two 7/5 tritones and three 5/4 major thirds. Didacus is a 6-form cluster temperament.

31edo is a particularly accurate 2.5.7 system, but 37edo is more accurate for extensions to larger subgroups such as 2.5.7.11.13.

Aberrismic theory

The fundamental 2.5.7 aberrismic scale is 4L2m3s, L = 28/25, m = 35/32, s = 50/49:

  • Achiral: LsmLsLmsL (28/25 8/7 5/4 7/5 10/7 8/5 7/4 25/14 2/1)
  • Right-handed: sLmLsLmsL (50/49 8/7 5/4 7/5 10/7 8/5 7/4 25/14 2/1)
  • Left-handed: LsmLsLmLs (28/25 8/7 5/4 7/5 10/7 8/5 7/4 49/25 2/1)

It sounds like soft citric (4L2s) with aberrismas.

Didacus tempering sets L = m + s. 37edo equates 49/40 to 16/13.
