If c is a [[Comma|comma]], then clipper(c) is defined as Euler(Benedetti(c)), tempered by the codimension one temperament tempering out c. Here Euler(N) is the [[Euler_genera|Euler genus]], the divisors of the integer N reduced to the octave, and Benedetti(c) is the [[Benedetti_height|Benedetti height]] of c = p/q, which is p*q if p/q is reduced to its lowest terms. Euler(Benedetti(c)) has exactly one interval of size c, which is removed when c is tempered out. Two [[Transversal|transversals]] of clipper(c) are obtained by leaving out either one or the other of the pair of scale intervals separated by c.

Euler(Benedetti(c)) generates a JI group, which can be found by reducing it to a [[Normal_lists#x-Normal interval lists|normal interval list]]. This group is characteristic of the comma, and is the group on which tempering by the comma takes place. For instance, Euler(Benedetti(225/224)) generates 2.3.5.7, the full 7-limit group, and tempering it out leads to a rank three temperament, marvel. However, Euler(Benedeti(3136/3125)) generates 2.5.7, and tempering it out generates a rank-two temperament of the 2.5.7 [[Just_intonation_subgroups|JI subgroup]], with mapping [<1 0 -3|, <0 2 5|] and an approximate 28/25 generator, which might be called 7-limit [[Chromatic_pairs#Roulette|roulette]] temperament.
