| {{Infobox fractional-octave|4}}[[4edo]] is much less used as a scale, rather as a chord. In many [[5L 2s|diatonic-based]] [[interval region]] schemes, one step of 4edo is 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 [[Diminished 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 is 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.

| == Berylic ==
| |
| 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. Beryllic is a rare example of a temperament which has an astronomically low [[badness]] by all metrics (generally several thousands of times lower than most temperaments), being a very high-accuracy [[microtemperament]] with low-to-average [[complexity]] for the harmonics in its [[subgroup]]. This also makes it simultaneously supported by EDO systems as low as [[16edo]] and up into the tens of thousands. The tradeoff with this temperament, not captured within the metric of badness, is that it is defined within the obscure subgroup 2.11.37.

| | |
| If one wishes to explore harmony in this temperament, a great way is to use the 8-note [[4L 4s]] [[mos]], and use the [[32:37:44]] triad and its inversion [[296:352:407|1/(44:37:32)]] as the root chords. However, the consonance of the 37th harmonic is questionable.

| == Darian calendar ==
| |
| Darian calendar is described as 24 & 668 temperament in the 2.3.11.19 [[subgroup]] and is named after a certain calendar layout by the same name. The generator is close to the [[36/35]] quartertone, and this allows an extension to the 2.3.35.11.19 subgroup. 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.

| |
| 668edo does not map 36/35 consistently, with its own [[direct approximation]] being 27 steps while the direct approximations of its constituent odd harmonics do not sum to that same amount: 3/2, 8/5, and 8/7 are 391, 453, and 129 steps, respectively, and 391 + 391 + 453 + 129 - 668 - 668 = 28, ≠ 27.
