The '''meter comma''', or ~~more simply,~~ the '''meter''', is a [[7-limit]] [[~~unnoticeable~~ comma]] with a ratio of '''703125/702464''' and a value of approximately 1.6 cents. It is the difference between a stack of three [[225/224|septimal kleismas]] and a [[81/80|syntonic comma]].

The '''meter''', also known as the '''metric comma''' or the '''meter comma''', is a [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[7-limit]] [[comma]] with a ratio of '''703125/702464''' and a value of approximately 1.6 cents.

Tempering it out leads to the '''metric temperament''', which splits the syntonic comma into three equal parts, one for the septimal kleisma, and two for the [[126/125|septimal semicomma]].

See [[metric microtemperaments]] for a collection of rank-2 temperaments where it is tempered out.
