Linus comma is the difference between a stack of 10 [[15/14]]s and the octave.
The '''linus comma''' ({{monzo|legend=1| 11 -10 -10 10 }}) is a [[small comma|small]] [[7-limit]] [[comma]] measuring about 5.57{{cent}}. It is the difference between a stack of 10 [[15/14]]'s and the [[octave]].

== Temperaments ==
Tempering out this comma alone in the 7-limit results in the rank-3 [[linus]] temperament. Edos not divisible by 10 cannot temper it out. For technical details see [[Kalismic temperaments #Linus]].
== Etymology ==
The name ''linus'' was given by [[Gene Ward Smith]] in 2011, referring to the fact that it is a "line comma" since the simplest comma pump will simply march along a line of the tetrad lattice<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_99424.html Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''Line commas'']</ref><ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_99457.html Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''Decoid and linus'']</ref>.
A 2016 article on this wiki by [[Mason Green]], not aware of this comma already having been named, dubbed it the ''higherlovesma'', and the corresponding rank-3 temperament ''winwood''.
== Notes ==


Tempering it out results in the rank-3 '''linus''' temperament in the 7-limit. Edos not divisible by 10 cannot temper it out. For technical details see [[10th-octave temperaments#Linus (rank-3)]].
