'''50/49''', the '''small septimal diesis''' (a.k.a. '''small septimal sixth-tone''' or '''septimal tritonic diesis'''), is a [[7-limit]] [[medium comma]]. It is the only [[superparticular]] [[comma]] in the 7-limit aside from [[126/125]] and [[4375/4374]] which has a numerator which is neither square nor [[triangular number|triangular]], meaning it is not the difference between septimal superparticular rations with numerators differing by either one or two; instead, {{nowrap| 50/49 = ([[10/7]])/([[7/5]]) }}.

== Temperaments ==
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tempering out]] this comma equates the two septimal tritones (i.e. [[7/5]] and [[10/7]]) with each other, leading to temperaments where [[sqrt(2/1)]] approximates both. In the [[2.5.7 subgroup]], this is known as the jubilic temperament, and the comma is thus known as the '''jubilisma'''. In the full 7-limit, this comma further equates [[15/14]] and [[21/20]] and enables all the [[jubilismic chords]].

''It cannot be tempered out if all of the consonances of the 7-odd-limit are distinct'', but it ''can'' be equated with other commas; for example:
* ([[36/35]])/(50/49) = [[126/125]]
* ([[45/44]])/(50/49) = [[441/440]]
* ([[49/48]])/(50/49) = [[2401/2400]]
* (50/49)/([[55/54]]) = [[540/539]]
* (50/49)/([[56/55]]) = [[1375/1372]]
* (50/49)/([[64/63]]) = [[225/224]]
* (50/49)/([[65/64]]) = [[640/637]]
* (50/49)/([[66/65]]) = [[1625/1617]]
* (50/49)/([[78/77]]) = [[275/273]]
* (50/49)/([[81/80]]) = [[4000/3969]]
 
See [[Jubilismic family]] for the rank-3 family where it is tempered out, and [[Jubilismic clan]] for the rank-2 clan where it is tempered out.
 
Equal temperaments tempering out 50/49 include [[12edo]], [[22edo]], [[26edo]], [[38edo]], [[48edo]], and [[54edo]].
 
== Approximations ==
{{Interval edo approximation|min_edo=12}}
 
== Etymology ==
The name ''jubilisma'' is likely a reference to the 50-year biblical jubilee cycle.
