'''Schismic''', '''schismatic''', or '''helmholtz''' is a [[5-limit]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] which takes ~~a roughly justly tuned~~ [[3/2|perfect fifth]] and stacks it ~~eight times~~ to reach [[8/5]], ~~thus finding the 5th harmonic at~~ the diminished fourth (e.g. C–F♭) and [[tempering out]] the [[~~schisma]],~~ 32805/32768. [[5/4]] can be respelled as a major third flattened by one [[Pythagorean comma]], and thus, the Pythagorean and [[syntonic comma]]s are equated into a generalized "comma", and the octave can be split into two diatonic major thirds and one downmajor third representing 5/4. It is one of the most basic examples of a [[microtemperament]], as the fifth generator can be detuned by a fraction of a cent from just, or left untouched entirely (as the difference between [[8192/6561]] and 5/4, the schisma being tempered out, is approximately 2 cents, which is [[just-noticeable difference|unnoticeable]] to most people). Technically, the best tuning in the 5-limit is to flatten the fifth by a fraction of a cent, though tunings on both sides of the just interval work fine.

'''Schismic''', '''schismatic''', or '''helmholtz''' is a [[5-limit]] [[regular temperament|temperament]] which takes an almost just [[3/2|perfect fifth]] and stacks it eightfold to reach [[8/5]], mapping [[5/4]] to the diminished fourth (e.g. C–F♭) and [[tempering out]] the schisma, [[32805/32768]].

Extensions to schismic include [[garibaldi]]~~, which~~ equates the generalized comma further to [[64/63]] and [[50/49]] (tempering out [[225/224]] and [[5120/5103]]) to provide an efficient framework for [[7-limit]] harmony, ~~and unlike~~ 5-limit ~~schismic performs best with a fifth tuned~~ slightly sharp ~~of just~~; [[pontiac]], which tempers out [[4375/4374]] to induce very little damage on schismic harmonies, at the cost of 7 being quite complex~~; and~~ the 2.3.5.19 [[subgroup]] extension [[nestoria]], which equates the minor third to [[19/16]], major third to [[19/15]] and [[24/19]], and the minor second to [[19/18]] and [[20/19]] (tempering out [[513/512]] and [[361/360]]). This page, however, focuses on the basic 5-limit temperament.

[[5/4]] maps equivalently to a major third minus one [[Pythagorean comma]], and thus, the Pythagorean and [[syntonic comma]]s are equated into one tempered comma, splitting octaves into two diatonic major thirds and one downmajor third representing 5/4.

Schismic is one of the simplest [[microtemperament]]s, as the fifth generator can be detuned by a fraction of a cent from just, or left untouched entirely (as the schisma is practically [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]]). Technically, the best tuning in the 5-limit is to flatten the fifth by a fraction of a cent, though tunings with sharper fifths (and worse 5-limit, like in [[41edo|41-]] or [[94edo]]) still work fine.

Extensions of schismic include [[garibaldi]] and [[pontiac]]. Garibaldi equates the generalized comma further to [[64/63]] and [[50/49]] (tempering out [[225/224]] and [[5120/5103]]) to provide an efficient framework for [[7-limit]] harmony, though with worse 5-limit intonation since the tuning favors slightly sharp fifths; pontiac, which tempers out [[4375/4374]] to induce very little damage on schismic harmonies, at the cost of 7 being quite complex. Besides these, there is the 2.3.5.19-[[subgroup]] extension [[nestoria]], which equates the minor third to [[19/16]], major third to [[19/15]] and [[24/19]], and the minor second to [[19/18]] and [[20/19]] (tempering out [[513/512]] and [[361/360]]).

A notable example of a [[weak extension]] is [[sesquiquartififths]], which tempers out [[2401/2400]] and splits the fifth in fourths, inducing very little damage with a less complex mapping of 7 at the cost of quadrupling the complexity of 3 and 5.

This page, however, focuses on the basic 5-limit temperament.

== Notation ==

Using schismic can be a challenge because it defies the tradition of {{w|tertian harmony}} in [[chain-of-fifths notation]]. The just major triad on C is C–F♭–G~~, for example~~. To address that, an additional module of accidentals such as arrows to represent the comma step may be adopted, allowing the user to write the chord above as C–vE–G.
