The '''buzzardsma''' or '''buzzard comma''' ({{monzo|legend=1| 16 -3 0 -4 }}, [[ratio]]: 65536/64827) is a [[small comma|small]] [[7-limit]] (specifically [[2.3.7 subgroup|2.3.7-subgroup]]) [[comma]] measuring about 18.8 [[cent]]s. It is the amount by which a perfect twelfth ([[3/1]]) exceeds four grave fourths of [[21/16]].

~~The '''buzzard~~ comma~~''' (~~[[~~monzo~~]]~~: {{monzo| 16 -3 -4 }},~~ [[~~ratio~~]]~~: 65536/64827) of 18.8~~ [[~~cent~~]]s, is the ~~amount~~ by ~~which a perfect twelfth (~~[[~~3/1~~]]~~) exceeds~~ four ~~grave fourths of~~ [[21/16]]~~. It~~ is ~~tempered out in~~ [[~~buzzard~~]] ~~systems such as~~ [[~~53edo~~]] and [[~~111edo]~~]].

== Temperaments ==

This comma is tempered out in [[buzzard]] systems such as [[53edo]] and [[58edo]]. In fact, it is the comma singled out by restricting buzzard to the 2.3.7 subgroup. Tempering it out alone in the full 7-limit leads to the rank-3 [[buzzardsmic]] temperament instead. In either case, the perfect twelfth is split into four equal parts, each for 21/16. In addition, the [[256/243|Pythagorean limma (256/243)]] is also split into four, one for [[64/63]], two for [[49/48]], and three for [[28/27]].

~~== Notes ==~~

See [[Buzzardsmic clan]] for the [[clan]] of rank-2 temperaments where it is tempered out.

== Etymology ==

[[Category:Commas ~~with unknown etymology~~]]

The name ''buzzard'' was first used by [[Herman Miller]] in 2004 for the full 7-limit alternative extension to 5-limit [[vulture]]. The porting of the name to the 2.3.7 subgroup was relatively late. In 2021 [[Xenllium]] proposed ''buzzardisma'', and in 2025 it was decided that the 2.3.7-subgroup restriction of buzzard was canonical, which makes it ''buzzard comma''. The corresponding name for the full 7-limit temperament was therefore ''buzzardsmic'' and the comma was therefore ''buzzardsma''.
