'''3025/3024''', the '''lehmerisma''', is an [[11-limit]] [[unnoticeable comma]] measuring about 0.57{{cent}}. It is the difference between [[55/54]] and [[56/55]], between [[121/120]] and [[126/125]], between [[225/224]] and [[243/242]], and between [[385/384]] and [[441/440]], as well as the amount by which two [[12/11]] neutral seconds falls short of [[25/21]], the quasi-tempered minor third. | '''3025/3024''', the '''lehmerisma''', is an [[11-limit]] [[unnoticeable comma]] measuring about 0.57{{cent}}.

Tempering it out leads to the '''lehmerismic temperament''', which splits [[28/27]] into two equal parts, each representing 55/54~56/55. See [[Rank-4 temperament #Lehmerismic (3025/3024)]] for some technical details. | Tempering it out leads to the '''lehmerismic temperament''', which splits [[28/27]] into two equal parts, each representing 55/54~56/55.
