The '''meter''', also known as the '''metric comma''' ({{monzo|legend=1| -11 2 7 -3 }}, [[ratio]]: 703125/702464), is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[7-limit]] [[comma]] with a value of approximately 1.6 [[cent]]s. It is the difference between a stack of three [[225/224|septimal kleismas]] and a [[81/80|syntonic comma]].

== Temperaments ==

[[Tempering out]] this comma 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.

== Etymology ==

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!
