This page presents a novelty topic. It features ideas which are less likely to find practical applications in xenharmonic music. It may contain numbers that are impractically large, exceedingly complex, or chosen arbitrarily. Novelty topics are often developed by a single person or a small group. As such, this page may also feature idiosyncratic terms, notations, or conceptual frameworks.

1/11-comma meantone is a tuning of meantone where the fifth is flattened by 1/11 of the syntonic comma, producing a fifth of 699.9998836 cents. This is approximated well by 12edo, differing only by 1/132 of Kirnberger's atom.

In the 7-limit, 1/11-comma’s fifth is a good sharptone generator. In the 11-limit, it becomes a good meanertone generator.
