Temperaments

Tempering out this comma splits the octave into 41 equal parts and maps the harmonic 3 to 24\41. It leads to a number of regular temperaments in the counterpyth family. For equal divisions N up to 1230, the comma is tempered out if and only if 41 divides N. Examples are 41EDO, 164EDO, 205EDO, 246EDO, 328EDO and 369EDO.
