'''513/512''', the '''undevicesimal comma''', '''undevicesimal schisma''' or '''Boethius' comma''', is a [[19-limit]] (also 2.3.19 subgroup) unnoticeable comma. It is the amount by which [[19/16]] exceeds the [[32/27|Pythagorean minor third (32/27)]]. By tempering it out is defined the '''boethius temperament''', which enables the '''boethius chords'''. It is significant in [[Functional Just System]] and [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]] as the formal comma to translate a Pythagorean interval to a nearby undevicesimal interval.  
'''513/512''', the '''undevicesimal comma''', '''undevicesimal schisma''' or '''Boethius' comma''', is an [[Unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[19-limit]] (also 2.3.19 [[subgroup]]) comma. It is the amount by which [[19/16]] exceeds the [[32/27|Pythagorean minor third (32/27)]].  
 
== Temperaments ==
: ''"Boethius" redirects here. For the medieval Roman platonist, see [[Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius]].''
 
By tempering out this comma in the 19-limit is defined the '''boethius temperament''', or in the 2.3.19 subgroup, the '''boethian temperament'''. Both enables the [[boethius chords]]. See [[No-fives subgroup temperaments #Boethian]].
 
== Notation ==
This comma is significant in [[Functional Just System]] and [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]] as the formal comma to translate a Pythagorean interval to a nearby undevicesimal interval.
 
=== Sagittal notation ===
In the [[Sagittal]] system, this comma (possibly tempered) is represented by the sagittal {{sagittal | )| }} and is called the '''19 schisma''', or '''19s''' for short, because the simplest interval it notates is 19/1 (equiv 19/16), as for example in D-F{{nbhsp}}{{sagittal | )| }}. The downward version is called '''1/19s''' or '''19s down''' and is represented by {{sagittal| )! }}.
