'''540/539''', the '''swetisma''', is a [[comma]] in the [[11-limit]], equal to ([[15/11]])/([[7/6]])<sup>2</sup>, to ([[12/11]]*[[15/14]])/([[7/6]]) or to ([[99/98]])/([[121/120]]). Thus, tempering any two of 99/98, 121/120 and 540/539 will result in the third of the three being tempered, resulting in the rank 3 temperament [[Nuwell family#Big Brother|Big Brother]]. More generally, tempering 540/539 leads to [[swetismic temperaments]].
'''540/539''', the '''swetisma''', is an [[unnoticeable comma]] in the [[11-limit]], equal to ([[15/11]])/([[7/6]])<sup>2</sup> or to ([[12/11]])([[15/14]])/([[7/6]]). In terms of commas, it is ([[99/98]])/([[121/120]]), ([[225/224]])/([[385/384]]), and ([[243/242]])/([[441/440]]).  
 
== Temperaments ==
[[Tempering out]] any two of 99/98, 121/120 and 540/539 will result in the third of the three being tempered, resulting in the rank-3 temperament [[big brother]]. More generally, tempering out 540/539 leads to [[swetismic temperaments]] and enables [[swetismic chords]].
 
See [[Rank-4 temperament #Swetismic (540/539)]] for the rank-4 swetismic temperament. See [[Swetismic temperaments]] for a collection of rank-3 temperaments where it is tempered out.
 
== Etymology ==
The swetisma was named by [[Manuel Op de Coul]] no later than 2004, after the Dutch ethnomusicologist Wouter Swets<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning-math/topicId_10195.html#10199 Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''Comma names'']</ref>.
