It can be described as the difference between [[99/98]] and [[100/99]], and between [[99/70]] and its octave complement, [[140/99]]. It is also the difference between [[245/243]] and [[121/120]], and a stack of two 11/7's and 81/80 against 5/2. Tempering it out also means that [[10/9]] and [[11/7]] are 600 cents apart, as well as are [[11/10]] and [[14/9]]. | It can be described as the difference between [[99/98]] and [[100/99]], and between [[99/70]] and its octave complement, [[140/99]].
