'''120/119''', the '''lynchisma''', is a [[small comma|small]] [[17-limit]] [[superparticular]] [[comma]] of about 14.49 [[cent]]s. It is the difference between [[20/17]] and [[7/6]], [[17/10]] and [[12/7]], or [[30/17]] and [[7/4]].


'''120/119''', the '''lynchisma''' is the [[17-limit]] [[superparticular]] comma of about 14.49 cents. It is the difference between [[20/17]] and [[7/6]], [[17/10]] and [[12/7]], or [[30/17]] and [[7/4]]. Tempering this comma allows you to assign 10:12:15:17 as the inverse of 4:5:6:7, a much simpler version of what would otherwise be 70:84:105:120. [[William Lynch's thoughts on septimal harmony and 22edo|William Lynch]] calls this the minor tetrad, and so equating it with the inverse of the major tetrad is quite useful.
== Temperaments ==
[[Tempering out]] this comma in the 17-limit leads to the rank-6 '''lynchismic''' temperament. In the 2.3.5.7.17 subgroup, tempering it out results in the rank-4 '''lynchic''' temperament. In either case, it allows you to assign [[10:12:15:17]] as the inverse of [[4:5:6:7]], an otonal chord that would otherwise be [[70:84:105:120]]. [[William Lynch's thoughts on septimal harmony and 22edo|William Lynch]] calls this the minor tetrad, and so equating it with the inverse of the major tetrad is quite useful.
 
Since 120/119 factors as ([[225/224]])⋅([[256/255]]), it would make sense to temper them both out, so lynchic can be further tempered to a simple extension of [[marvel]] that adds prime 17 known as [[char]], though it loses accuracy when compared to marvel.
