19tet has two "approximations" of the 7/4, neither very good. The large one is slightly higher than the
12tet "7/4" and the smaller is lower than the 7/4. The smaller one is closer to 7/4 on the flat side than
the larger is on the sharp side. I really like the small approximation, and at least on piece on my new
album will feature it prominently.
