Countercentisma
Interval information |
The countercentisma is an 11-limit unnoticeable comma which is the difference between 300 4-cent commas and the octave. Tempering out this comma results in the countercentismic temperament in the full 11-limit or the countercentic temperament in the 2.3.5.11 subgroup, which are both extreme microtemperaments that make the 4-cent comma (which is 4.0004729 cents) exactly 4 cents or 1 step of 300edo. The comma was named by CompactStar in 2024 because it is analogous to the centisma also named by him, which equates 17/12 to exactly 603 cents and 289/288 (the semitonisma or septendecimal 6-cents comma) to exactly 6 cents.
