== Temperaments ==

Tempering it out leads to the '''metric temperament''', which splits the syntonic comma into three equal parts, one for the septimal kleisma, and two for the [[126/125|septimal semicomma]].

Tempering it out leads to the '''metric temperament''', which splits the syntonic comma into three equal parts, one for the septimal kleisma, and two for the [[126/125|septimal semicomma]]. It is also tempered out in [[septimal meantone]], but this is a trivial case since 81/80 and 225/224 are both tempered out.

See [[metric microtemperaments]] for a collection of rank-2 temperaments where it is tempered out.

This comma was first named as ''tertiaendec'' by [[Gene Ward Smith]] in 2005 as a contraction of ''[[tertiaseptal]]'' and ''[[enneadecal]]''<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning-math/topicId_12900.html Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''Seven limit comma names from pairs of temperament names'']</ref>. It is not clear how it later became ''meter''.
