It is also the product of the [[marvel comma]] and the [[landscape comma]].

== Temperaments ==

Tempering out this comma in the 7-limit leads to the [[dimcomp]] temperament, with the effect of splitting the octave into four equal parts, and edos that are not multiples of 4 cannot be tempering it out. Rank-2 temperaments tempering it out include [[diminished]], [[compton]], [[bidia]], [[quadritikleismic]], [[octoid]], etc.
