The '''forge comma''' is the [[7-limit]] [[unnoticeable comma]] '''1640558367/1638400000''', which measures roughly 2.28 [[cent]]s. It's notable as the interval separating the [[amity comma]] from the [[gamelisma]] and is the sum of the [[landscape comma]] and the [[schisma]]. This comma was first found as the 7-limit comma linking [[12edo]], [[34edo]] and [[159edo]]. The various 11-limit families that temper out this comma are named after various metal objects made in a forge, hence '''[[the Forge]]''' as the name of this collection of temperaments. | The '''forge comma''' is the [[7-limit]] [[unnoticeable comma]] '''1640558367/1638400000''', which measures roughly 2.28 [[cent]]s. It's notable as the amount by which a stack consisting of an [[octave]], a [[6561/4096]] Pythagorean augmented fifth, and a [[5/4]] major third, exceeds a stack of three [[100/63]] quasi-tempered minor sixths. It also is the interval separating the [[amity comma]] from the [[gamelisma]] and is the sum of the [[landscape comma]] and the [[schisma]].
