The quartisma is an unnoticeable 11-limit comma with a ratio of 117440512/117406179 and a value of approximately 0.5 cents. The quartisma is significant on account of it being the interval between a stack of five 33/32 quartertones and one 7/6 subminor third in Just Intonation- this significance in relation to quartertones being the source of its name. Tempering it out leads to a form of quartismic temperament. For a list of such temperaments, see The Quartercache.
