This means the fifth is flattened by 1/4 of the syntonic comma (81/80 ratio) of 21.506 cents, which is to say by 5.377 cents, hence the name quarter-comma or 1/4-comma meantone. It is the minimax tuning for 5-limit meantone, meaning the maximum error on the 5-limit &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/Diamonds"&gt;diamond&lt;/a&gt; is minimized. It is also the minimax tuning for septimal meantone in the 7- and 9-limit odd limits, and for meanpop, the version of 11-limit meantone which tunes 11/8 to the doubly diminished fifth, C-Gbb. Moreover, historically it was the predominant tuning of Western common-practice music in the latter part of the Renaissance and the early modern (17th century) era. &lt;br /&gt;
