The essential tempering commas are commas that induce essentially tempered triads.

Note the definition is about triads. There are commas that induce essentially tempered chords whose basic forms are tetrads, and these may not satisfy the definition given below. For example, 81/80 induces an essentially tempered tetrad (→ didymic chords), despite that any three of the components are essentially just.

Definition

Suppose S is a set of JI intervals i including 1 and 2 with 1 ≤ i ≤ 2 such that if i is in S, so is 2/i. S is intended to represent a set of pitch classes defining "consonance". A JI interval c is an essential tempering comma for S if:

  1. c is greater than 1 but less than the smallest interval between any two members of S.
  2. There are three intervals i, j, and k in S such that c = ij/k.

Examples

For various odd limit diamonds, we get the following essential tempering commas:

5: 128/125

7: 126/125, 64/63

9: 225/224, 126/125, 245/243

11: 540/539, 441/440, 385/384, 243/242, 225/224, 896/891, 176/175, 126/125, 245/243
