Horizmic chords are essentially tempered chords tempered by the horizma, 833/832.

There are three triads, six tetrads and two pentads as 2.7.13.17 subgroup 17-odd-limit essentially tempered chords.

For triads, there are one palindromic chord and a pair of chords in inverse relationship. The palindromic chord is

  • 1-8/7-17/13 chord with steps of 8/7-8/7-26/17.

The inversely related pair of chords is

  • 1-14/13-8/7 with steps of 14/13-17/16-7/4 and its inverse 1-17/16-8/7 with steps of 17/16-14/13-7/4.

For tetrads, there are two palindromic chords and two pairs of chords in inverse relationship. The palindromic chords are

  • 1-14/13-8/7-16/13 chord with steps of 14/13-17/16-14/13-13/8;
  • 1-17/16-8/7-17/14 chord with steps of 17/16-14/13-17/16-28/17.

The inversely related pairs of chords are

  • 1-8/7-16/13-17/13 with steps of 8/7-14/13-17/16-26/17 and its inverse 1-17/16-8/7-17/13 with steps of 17/16-14/13-8/7-26/17;
  • 1-8/7-17/14-17/13 with steps of 8/7-17/16-14/13-26/17 and its inverse 1-14/13-8/7-17/13 with steps of 14/13-17/16-8/7-26/17.

They can be extended to pentads:

  • 1-14/13-8/7-16/13-17/13 with steps of 14/13-17/16-14/13-17/16-26/17 and its inverse 1-17/16-8/7-17/14-17/13 with steps of 17/16-14/13-17/16-14/13-26/17.

Equal temperaments with horizmic chords include 10, 11, 21, 26, 31, 36, 46, 47, 57, 67, 83, 93, 103, 104 and 150.
