The Quartercache

This is a list showing technical temperament data. For an explanation of what information is shown here, you may look at the technical data guide for regular temperaments.

The Quartercache is a collection of temperaments of different ranks, including subgroup temperaments, that all temper out the quartisma – the unnoticeable comma with the ratio 117440512/117406179, and a monzo of [24 -6 0 1 -5⟩. Among the members of this family are quartic, altierran, meanquarter, coin, escapismic, dietismic, kleirtismic, doublefour and quarterframe.

Quartismic

See Catalog of rank-4 temperaments #Quartismic (117440512/117406179).

Quartic

There are some temperaments that temper out the quartisma despite having limited accuracy in their approximations of five-limit intervals. This particular temperament is the parent temperament of all such no-fives children, and is referred to as Saquinlu-azo in color notation.

Direct quartismic

Instead of 11-limit, direct quartismic is defined directly in the 2.7/3.33 subgroup, as the quartisma itself was discovered via a representation where the generator is 33/32 and five of them stack to 7/6. 45edo is an excellent tuning. It was named by Eliora in 2023.

Prequartismic

This temperament was named because 3125edo was the only one confirmed for tempering out the quartisma before its discovery as significance of the difference between five 33/32's and 7/6. Defined upon the 33/32 (or 64/33) generator in 3125edo, in terms of patent vals it can be described as 3125 & 4991 or 3125 & 1866.
