In [[just intonation]], '''121/120''', otherwise known as the '''biyatisma''', or '''undecimal seconds comma''', is a [[superparticular]] interval of around 14.4 [[cent]]s which makes the difference between two undecimal neutral seconds of [[11/10]] and [[12/11]]. | In [[just intonation]], '''121/120''', otherwise known as the '''biyatisma''', or '''undecimal seconds comma''', is a [[superparticular]] interval of around 14.4 [[cent]]s which makes the difference between two undecimal neutral seconds of [[11/10]] and [[12/11]], as well as between [[11/8]] and [[15/11]]. | ||

Tempering out this comma in the 11-limit gives the rank-4 biyatismic temperament (→ [[Rank-4 temperament #Biyatismic (121/120)]]), enabling [[biyatismic chords]]. | [[Tempering out]] this comma in the 11-limit gives the rank-4 biyatismic temperament (→ [[Rank-4 temperament #Biyatismic (121/120)]]), enabling [[biyatismic chords]]. In such systems, 11/10 and 12/11 are equated. This is in contrast to the more familiar tempering out of [[81/80]], which results in meantone and other temperaments, in which [[10/9]] is equated with [[9/8]]. See [[biyatismic clan]] for the clan of rank-3 temperaments where it is tempered out. Equal temperaments in which 121/120 is tempered out include {{EDOs| 15, 22, 29, 31, 46, 53 }} and others. | ||
