2.3.35 and 2.3.49

2.3.35 and 2.3.49 are two subsets of the 2.3.5.7 (septimal) group that involve many ratios further from 12edo than 2.3.7. The 35th harmonic (5*7) perfectly combines the deviations of the 5th and 7th harmonics to be about as far from 12edo as possible, whereas the 49th harmonic (7*7) overshoots slightly.

Intervals

<adv>Tempering out 245/243 equates the two smallest steps, leaving 5L2m8s. Tempering out 1029/1024 equates 256/147 to 7/4. Tempering out both commas leads to Rodan temperament (2.3.5.7 41 & 46), an extension of Slendric which also notably tempers out 5120/5103.</adv>
