| Interval information |
The ennealimma, meaning nine limmas, with monzo [1 -27 18⟩, is an unnoticeable 5-limit comma measuring about 0.862 cents. It is the amount by which a stack of nine large limmas falls short of the octave.
Temperament
Tempering out this comma leads to the 5-limit version of the ennealimmal temperament, which remarkably splits the octave into nine equal parts. Since the 7-limit temperament (definable by tempering out both 2401/2400 and 4375/4374, the two smallest superparticular ratios in the 7-limit) is far more natural to think of than the 5-limit, the 5-limit temperament is only provided below for bookkeeping purposes.
