The '''ampersand comma''', or '''Ampersand's comma''', is the [[comma]] of '''34171875/33554432''' of size 31.567 [[cent]]s. It is the amount by which six [[16/15|classical diatonic semitones (16/15)]] fall short of the [[3/2|perfect fifth (3/2)]]; that is, (3/2)/(16/15)<sup>6</sup>, or the amount by which seven such intervals fall short of the [[8/5|classical minor sixth (8/5)]]. The [[5-limit]] temperament tempering it out gives the eponymous '''ampersand temperament''', which is the 5-limit version of [[miracle|miracle temperament]]. See [[Syntonic–31 equivalence continuum #Ampersand]] for technical data. The ampersand comma was named after [[Paul Rapoport]]'s cat, Ampersand. | |||
