Temperaments
Tempering out this comma splits the octave into 5 equal parts and maps the harmonic seventh to 4\5. In the full 7-limit, this leads to the rank-3 cloudy temperament. For edos N up to 65, the comma is tempered out if and only if 5 divides N. Examples are 5edo, 10edo, 15edo, 50edo, 55edo and 65edo. Rank-2 temperaments tempering it out include blackwood, coblack, cloudtone, sengasec, warlock, pentacloud, decic, pentadecal, and quinkee.
