The quartisma or Saquinlu-azo comma is a comma with a ratio of 117440512/117406179 and a monzo of [24 -6 0 1 -5. It is an unnoticeable comma of the 11-limit- specifically one of the the 2.9.7.11 subgroup- with a value of approximately 0.50619 cents. The quartisma is significant on account of it being the difference between a stack of five 33/32 quartertones and one 7/6 subminor third in Just Intonation. Despite that fact that the quartisma is an unnoticeable comma in JI, a number of reasonably well known EDOs (such as 17edo, 26edo and 34edo) actually fail to temper it out. In fact there are even some EDOs, such as 23edo and 70edo, that seem to temper out the comma when one merely examines the patent vals for 33/32 and 7/6, yet upon closer examination actually fail to temper out the comma, as these calculations prove. Examples of edos that actually do temper out the quartisma are 22edo, 24edo, 44edo, 68edo, 90edo, 91edo, 92edo, 159edo, and 3125edo.

The rank-3 quartismic or Saquinlu-azo temperament is the rank-3 2.3.7.11 temperament that tempers out this comma; equivalently it is the 22&24&159 temperament. This page will also list various rank-2 temperaments that temper out this comma and thus belong in the quartismic family.
