Quadrantonismic chords
Quadrantonismic chords are essentially tempered dyadic chords tempered by the quadrantonisma, 1156/1155.
Quadrantonismic chords are of pattern 2 in the 2.3.5.7.11.17 subgroup 17-odd-limit, meaning that there are 6 triads, 15 tetrads and 6 pentads, for a total of 27 distinct chord structures.
For triads, there are three pairs of chords in inverse relationship:
- 1-17/11-7/4 with steps 17/11-17/15-8/7 and its inverse
- 1-17/15-7/4 with steps 17/15-17/11-8/7;
- 1-17/11-15/8 with steps 17/11-17/14-16/15 and its inverse

- 1-17/15-11/8 with steps 17/15-17/14-16/11.
For tetrads, there are three palindromic chords and six pairs of chords in inverse relationship. The palindromic chords are
- 1-17/15-17/11-7/4 with steps 17/15-15/11-17/15-8/7;
