Well, IF the "high third" was 14/11, AND the minor seventh was 7/4, then
you get an 11/8 between them... for some reason, I think I'll want some
extra water with that.

Otherwise, numerical fiddling gets me into "high sevenths" to go along with
the "high third".

Do you also have low sevenths (7/4) and high sevenths (9/5 or 16/9 or
some such???)
