If used as a [[comma]] to be tempered out, this interval may be called the '''supersharp comma''', and tempering it out leads to the rank-2 [[supersharp]] temperament, which splits the octave into two 27/20~40/27 semioctaves and generally tempers 3/2 very sharp (by more than 20¢). This means that five generators from the [[generator sequence #JI scales obtained from guided generator sequences|Zarlino generator sequence]] starting with 6/5 are tempered to one and a half octaves. The only reasonable 7-limit [[extension]] adds [[50/49]] to the comma list, taking advantage of the existing semioctave.
