The '''nicolic tetrad''' in close position is a [[Unison|1]]-[[15/13]]-[[15/11]]-[[11/7]] in a temperament where the [[nicola]], 1575/1573, is [[tempering out|tempered out]]. It therefore has steps of 15/13-[[13/11]]-15/13-[[14/11]], and is a [[15-limit]] chord. [[Equal]] divisions with nicolic tetrads include [[58edo]], [[72edo]], [[87edo]], [[103edo]], [[121edo]], [[130edo]], [[190edo]], [[217edo]], [[224edo]], [[311edo]], [[414edo]], [[441edo]], [[665edo]] and [[855edo]].
A '''nicolic chord''' is a [[15-odd-limit]] [[essentially tempered dyadic chord]] which is tempered by [[1575/1573]], the nicola.
 
The nicolic triads include the following palindromic form,
* 1-[[15/11]]-[[13/7]] with steps 15/11-15/11-[[14/13]],
 
and a pair in inverse relationship,
* 1-15/11-[[11/7]] with steps 15/11-[[15/13]]-[[14/11]], and
* 1-15/11-[[26/15]] with steps 15/11-14/11-15/13.  
 
Any of these leads to a tetrad, in close position,
* 1-15/13-15/11-11/7, with steps of 15/13-[[13/11]]-15/13-14/11.  
 
[[Equal temperament]]s with nicolic chords include {{EDOs| 58, 72, 87, 103, 121, 130, 190, 217, 224, 311, 414, 441, 665 and 855 }}.
 
Here is a listening sample. Although it is non-tempered, it may be regarded as close enough.
