| | A '''microtemperament''' is a [[regular temperament]] in which all of the intervals considered to be consonances of the system are so closely approximated as to be effectively just. |

There is no agreed on value for the threshold to microtempering, and here we will use less than a cent in error as our line of demarcation, which some people would call a //nanotemperament//. Using this definition and the tonality diamond as our consonance set, we find that the equal temperaments 118, 171, 236, 270 ... are 5-limit microtmeperaments; that 171, 270, 441, 612, 643 ... are 7-limit microtemperaments; 764, 836, 1084, 1106 ... are 11-limit microtemperaments, and that 1171, 1178, 1186 ... are 13-limit microtemperaments.

| Putting 118 and 171 together, we see that the 5-limit [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schismatic_temperament|schismatic temperament]], which tempers out the schisma of 32805/32768, is a microtemperament when appropriately tuned. Putting 171 and 270 together, we see that [[Ennealimmal temperament|ennealimmal temperament]], which tempers out the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breedsma|breedsma]] 2401/2400 and the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragisma|ragisma]] 4375/4374 is also a microtemperament. </pre></div>

| | Putting 118 and 171 together, we see that the 5-limit [[schismatic]] temperament, which tempers out the [[schisma]] (32805/32768), is a microtemperament when appropriately tuned. Putting 171 and 270 together, we see that [[ennealimmal]] temperament, which tempers out the [[breedsma]] (2401/2400) and the [[ragisma]] (4375/4374), is also a microtemperament. |

| | == Practical notes == |
| | Tuning microtemperaments can be challenging due to the sheer number of pitch materials, but one may take advantage of MIDI channels. See [[Tuning per channel]]. |
