7-limit

The 7-limit or the 2.3.5.7 subgroup is the subgroup of just intonation consisting of the intervals reachable by stacking 2/1, 3/2, 5/4, and 7/4.

Rank-3 subgroups:

• 5-limit
• 2.3.7 subgroup
• 2.5.7 subgroup
• 3.5.7 subgroup

Septimalydian is a mode of this.

Zil

Zil (from the temperament Godzilla which the zil series serves as a detempering of) is a series of 7-limit JI scales created from a generator sequence. The most discussed of the zil scales is zil[14] which is chiral depending on the chirality of the interleaved 5-limit zarlino copies:

Pajara

Pajara can be used as an interpretation of 2L8s and 10L2s or their modifications. Pajara works best in 22edo.

7-limit diachrome

7-limit diachrome, an aberrismic scale, is constructed by taking a 6+4 or 5+5 fifth chain structure and tempering out 5120/5103.
