The '''centisma''' is a [[17-limit]] (2.3.17 subgroup) unnoticeable comma measuring about 0.189 cents in size. It is the difference between a stack of 400 [[17/12]]'s and the octave. The tempering out of this results in a period of 1 step of [[400edo]] (3 cents) and makes [[17/12]], an astronomically close interval to 603 cents (603.00041), exactly 603 cents. Similarly, it makes the [[289/288|semitonisma]] exactly 6 cents. As such this temperament is very abursdly accurate and it isn't supported by | The '''centisma''' is a [[17-limit]] (2.3.17 subgroup) unnoticeable comma measuring about 0.189 cents in size.
