'''Tetracot''', in this article, is the [[rank-2 temperament|rank-2]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] in the 2.3.5.11.13 [[subgroup]] [[generator|generated]] by a submajor second of about 174–178{{cent}} which represents both [[10/9]] and [[11/10]]. It is so named because the generator is a quarter of fifth: four such generators make a perfect fifth which approximates [[3/2]], which cannot occur in [[12edo]], resulting in [[100/99]], [[144/143]], and [[243/242]] being [[tempering out|tempered out]]. This is in contrast to [[meantone]], where 10/9 is tuned sharper than or equal to just in order to be equated with [[9/8]].

Tetracot has many [[extension]]s for the 7-, 11-, and 13-limit. See [[Tetracot extensions]]. Equal temperaments that support tetracot include {{EDOs| 27, 34, and 41 }}.

Tetracot has four strong [[extension]]s for the 7-, 11-, and 13-limit, which use the same methods of obtaining the [[11/1|11th]] and [[13/1|13th]] harmonics (10 generators up and 2 generators down, respectively) but differ in their methods of obtaining the [[7/1|7th harmonic]]:
* [[Monkey]] (34 & 41) obtains the 7th harmonic at 15 generators down, tempering out [[875/864]] and thereby equating [[7/4]] with ([[6/5]])<sup>3</sup>;
* [[Bunya]] (34d & 41) obtains the 7th harmonic at 26 generators up, tempering out [[225/224]] and thereby equating [[7/2]] with ([[15/8]])<sup>2</sup>;
* [[Modus]] (27e & 34d) obtains the 7th harmonic at 8 generators down, tempering out [[64/63]] and thereby equating 7/4 with [[16/9]];
* [[Wollemia]] (27e & 34) obtains the 7th harmonic at 19 generators up, tempering out [[126/125]] and thereby equating [[7/1]] with ([[5/3]])<sup>3</sup>([[3/2]]).

Tetracot is considered as a [[cluster temperament]] with 7 clusters of notes in an octave, so it is naturally a [[detemperament]] of the [[7edo|7 equal temperament]]. The diagram on the right shows a 34-tone detempered scale, with a generator range of -16 to +17, which covers all the intervals in the no-7 13-odd-limit. Each category is divided into four or five qualities separated by 7 generator steps, which represent [[40/39]], [[45/44]], [[55/54]], [[65/64]], [[66/65]], [[81/80]], and [[121/120]] all at once.
