[[Tempering out]] Kirnberger's atom leads to the [[Very high accuracy temperaments #Atomic|atomic]] temperament, in which eleven schismas make up a syntonic comma, and twelve schismas make up a [[Pythagorean comma]]. Many notable edos temper out Kirnberger's atom, as can be seen by the [[optimal ET sequence]] at [[Very high accuracy temperaments #Atomic]]. Any tuning system (such as [[41edo]]) for which the number of divisions of the octave is not divisible by 12 cannot temper out Kirnberger's atom.
