Aaaargh! This portion of my meantone explanation had some incomplete
edits in it. Just in case it confused anybody:

> That combined with the fact that the total error between the third
> of I (the mediant) and the third of V (the leading tone) is smaller that
> way. In the quarter-comma meantone case, the mediant's error is 0 and
the
> leading tone's is 1/4 comma, a total error of 1/4 comma, whereas in
fifth-
> comma meantone the mediant's is 1/5 comma, and the leading tone's is 0, a

> total of 1/5 comma.
