'''45/44''', ~38.906 cents, the '''undecimal 1/5-tone''', is the interval between [[11/9]] and [[5/4]], ~~and also~~ between [[11/10]] and [[9/8~~]]. It is tempered out by the patent vals for [[12edo|12~~]], [[~~19edo|19~~]], and [[~~26edo|26~~]] ~~equal. When one uses 45/44 as an interval in its own right, it has properties akin to a sort of chroma~~.

'''45/44''', ~38.906 cents, the '''undecimal 1/5-tone''', is the interval between [[11/9]] and [[5/4]], between [[11/10]] and [[9/8]], and between [[22/15]] and [[3/2]].

45/44 is ~~also known as the "cake" comma, from when~~ [[~~Ocean Stegosaurus Tardigrade~~]] ~~was baking a cake~~ and ~~misread flour and sugar measurements on his scale~~, ~~leading~~ to ~~the inclusion~~ of 11/~~9 times the amount suggested in his recipe. To compensate~~, ~~he writes "I increased all~~ the ~~other ingredients by a neutral third~~, ~~except the eggs, which I increased~~ by ~~a major third because I couldn't be bothered to measure out eight ninths of an egg."

45/44 is extremely close to a single step of [[31edo]], and is represented consistently there as well. When one uses 45/44 as an interval in its own right, it has properties akin to a sort of [[chroma]], and it differs from [[8192/8019]], the Alpharabian inframinor second, by the [[schisma]].

45/44 is also known as the '''cake comma''', from when [[Ocean Stegosaurus Tardigrade]] was baking a cake and misread flour and sugar measurements on his scale, leading to the inclusion of 11/9 times the amount suggested in his recipe. To compensate, he writes "I increased all the other ingredients by a neutral third, except the eggs, which I increased by a major third because I couldn't be bothered to measure out eight ninths of an egg." We see here the equating of 11/9 with 5/4, leading to the [[tempering out]] of 45/44. The cake turned out fine but slightly burnt on the top.

This temperament is the [[Catalog of rank-4 temperaments #Cake (45/44)|cake temperament]], [[support]]ed by the [[patent val]]s for [[12edo|12-]], [[19edo|19-]], and [[26edo|26-tone equal temperament]].

== Notation ==

=== Sagittal notation ===

In the [[Sagittal]] system, the downward version of this comma (possibly tempered) is represented by the sagittal {{sagittal | (!( }} and is called the '''11/5 small diesis''', or '''11/5S''' for short, because the simplest interval it notates is 11/5 (equiv. 11/10), as for example in C–D{{nbhsp}}{{sagittal | (!( }}. The upward version is called '''5/11S''' or '''11/5S up''' and is represented by {{sagittal| (|( }}.
