Talk:Schisma

Lemma

Should it better be moved to schisma with 32805/32768 being the redirect? The numbers are hard to memorize, whereas the name is well-established. --Xenwolf (talk) 18:38, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

Yes. If 4-digits is the limit for ratio numbers, then this article definitely needs to be moved. --Aura (talk) 18:49, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

I'm hesitant as I noticed some (Sagittal notation users in particular) would use the term schisma for a category of commas regarding size, somewhat like diesis. Perhaps there should be a disambiguation. Same for kleisma. FloraC (talk) 08:19, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

Good point! Concerning kleisma, I started Talk:Kleisma#Disambiguation. --Xenwolf (talk) 09:45, 25 November 2020 (UTC)

887/886

> Since it is extremely close to the superparticular ratio 887/886 (2^-1 443^-1 887), it is used interchangably with this interval.

Doesn't seem notable at all.

I added this because you may find it in some of Helmholtz' writing and it is extremely confusing if you don't know that he is using 887/886 to refer to the schisma. I agree it's weird and I don't really understand why he did that. – Sintel🎏 (talk) 12:41, 6 August 2025 (UTC)
