The '''meter''', also known as the '''metric comma''' ({{monzo|legend=1| -11 2 7 -3 }}, [[ratio]]: 703125/702464), is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[7-limit]] [[comma]] with a value of approximately 1.6 [[cent]]s. It is the difference between a stack of three [[225/224|septimal kleismas]] and a [[81/80|syntonic comma]].

~~The '''meter comma''', or more simply,~~ the '''~~meter~~''', is a [[7-limit]] [[unnoticeable comma]] with a ratio of '''703125/702464''' and a value of approximately 1.6 cents. It is the difference between a stack of three [[225/224|septimal kleismas]] and a [[81/80|syntonic comma]]. Tempering it out splits the syntonic comma into three equal parts, one for the septimal kleisma, and two for the [[126/125|septimal semicomma]].

== Temperaments ==

Tempering it out leads to the '''metric temperament''', which splits the syntonic comma into three equal parts, one for the septimal kleisma, and two for the [[126/125|septimal semicomma]]. It is also tempered out in [[septimal meantone]], but this is a trivial case since 81/80 and 225/224 are both tempered out.
