Nicolic chords are essentially tempered chords tempered by the nicola, 1575/1573.

There are three triads, six tetrads and two pentads as 15-odd-limit essentially tempered chords.

The nicolic triads include the following palindromic form,

and a pair in inverse relationship,

  • 1-15/11-11/7 with steps of 15/11-15/13-14/11, and
  • 1-15/11-26/15 with steps of 15/11-14/11-15/13.

For tetrads, there are two palindromic chords and two pairs of chords in inverse relationship. The palindromic chords are

  • 1-15/13-15/11-11/7 with steps of 15/13-13/11-15/13-14/11;
  • 1-15/13-22/15-11/7 with steps of 15/13-14/11-15/14-14/11.

The inversely related pairs of chords are

  • 1-15/11-11/7-13/7 with steps of 15/11-15/13-13/11-14/13, and its inverse
  • 1-15/11-22/15-26/15 with steps of 15/11-14/13-13/11-15/13;
  • 1-15/11-26/15-13/7 with steps of 15/11-14/11-15/14-14/13, and its inverse
  • 1-15/11-22/15-11/7 with steps of 15/11-14/13-15/14-14/11.

They can be extended to pentads:

  • 1-15/14-15/13-15/11-11/7 with steps of 15/14-14/13-13/11-15/13-14/11, and its inverse
  • 1-15/13-15/11-22/15-11/7 with steps of 15/13-13/11-14/13-15/14-14/11.

Equal temperaments with nicolic chords include 58, 72, 87, 103, 121, 130, 190, 217, 224, 311, 414, 441, 665 and 855.

Here is a listening sample, tempered to TE tuning of nicolic.
