Equal temperaments with quark-sized steps include [[26edo]], [[31edo]], [[36edo]] (the "standard" quark or sixth-tone), [[41edo]], and [[46edo]]. | Equal temperaments with quark-sized steps include [[26edo]], [[31edo]], [[36edo]] (the "standard" quark or sixth-tone), [[41edo]], and [[46edo]]. | ||
One could argue that these tunings are much less overtly xenharmonic than those based on quarter-tones or third-tones. In 36edo, for example, all intervals are either equivalent to a 12edo interval, or are 33.3 cents higher or lower.

In 36edo, for example, all intervals are either equivalent to a 12edo interval, or are 33.3 cents higher or lower. As such, all "new" intervals are variations on familiar ones ("red notes" and "blue notes"), rather than representing entirely new categories; this is quite a different situation from what occurs in 24edo. 41edo is similar to 36edo in this respect and may be notated similarly, although it does contain neutral intervals. | ||
Furthermore, the quark is usually small enough that it is typically perceived as a consonance (i. e., an "out-of-tune" but pleasant-sounding unison) rather than a dissonance. 31edo may be considered a transitional case in that its diesis may or may not be perceived this way depending on timbre. | Furthermore, the quark is usually small enough that it is typically perceived as a consonance (i. e., an "out-of-tune" but pleasant-sounding unison) rather than a dissonance. 31edo may be considered a transitional case in that its diesis may or may not be perceived this way depending on timbre. | ||

Of course, the main drawback to using quark-based scales as opposed to simpler ones, is that the step size is smaller and there are more pitches.</body></html></pre></div> | Of course, the main drawback to using quark-based scales as opposed to simpler ones, is that the step size is smaller and there are more pitches.</body></html></pre></div> | ||
