| [[4edo]] is much less used as a scale, rather as a chord. In the Western theory, one step of 4edo is usually known as a minor third and the stacking of them is the diminished seventh chord.
| |
| | |
| Usage of the [[6/5]] minor third as one step of 4edo by tempering out [[648/625]], and therefore using 4edo as a diminished seventh chord produced by stacking three minor thirds is one of the features of standard Western music theory, and is supported by [[12edo]]. See [[Dimipent family]] for a collection of such temperaments.

| | |
| [[19/16]], the 19th harmonic octave-reduced, is much closer to quarter-octave than 6/5, and while it's not a microtemperament, a lot of equal divisions support it. | |
| | |
| An interval closer to 1\4 is [[25/21]], with the associated comma being the dimcomp comma. See [[Dimcomp family]] for a collection of rank-3 temperaments tempering it out.
| |
| | |
| There are nonetheless other less common temperaments which divide the octave in four.

| Associates [[19/16]] to one step of 4edo, and hence [[19/1|19th harmonic]] by octavation to 17 steps of 4edo.

| Berylic temperament tempers out the [[1874161/1874048]] comma in the 2.11.37 subgroup, representing the fact that [[44/37]] is a [[wikipedia:continued fraction|continued fraction]] convergent to the fourth root of 2.

| == Darian calendar ==
| |
| Darian calendar is described as 24 & 668 temperament and is named after a certain calendar layout by the same name. The generator is close to the [[36/35]] quartertone, although it is not always mapped to this interval from regular perspective, 5 of them make [[11/8]], 8 of them make [[3/2]], and 6 of them make [[32/19]].

| === 2.3.11.19 subgroup ===
| |
| The temperament is simplest in this subgroup, although there is a tradeoff of breaking up the simplicity of the 36/35 quartertone.
