'''Eracs''', short for error accidentals, are symbols that denote error cancelation in a subgroup. This is especially important in the context of [[Straddle primes]].

Eracs can be placed before or after a number, although it is preferred in ratios for the denominator to have the erac adjacent to the slash. Eracs on the denominator have an inverse effect on the size of a tempered ratio.
 
For example, 37edo could be called 2.<<3.>3.5.7.11.13, such that adding the flat 3 and two sharp 3s results in a good 27.
