In just intonation, 121/120, otherwise known as the biyatisma, or undecimal seconds comma, is a superparticular interval of around 14.4 cents which makes the difference between two undecimal neutral seconds of 11/10 and 12/11, as well as between 11/8 and 15/11.

Temperaments

Tempering out this comma in the 11-limit gives the rank-4 biyatismic temperament (→ Rank-4 temperament #Biyatismic (121/120)), enabling biyatismic chords. In such systems, 11/10 and 12/11 are equated. This is in contrast to the more familiar tempering out of 81/80, which results in meantone and other temperaments, in which 10/9 is equated with 9/8. See biyatismic clan for the clan of rank-3 temperaments where it is tempered out. Equal temperaments in which 121/120 is tempered out include 15, 22, 29, 31, 46, 53 and others.
