| | The '''magic comma''' or '''small diesis''' is the interval '''3125/3072'''. It is the amount by which five major thirds ([[5/4]]) exceeds the twelfth, or ''[[tritave]]''; in other words (5/4)<sup>5</sup>/3, the amount by which two chromatic semitones of 25/24 exceed a diatonic semitone of 16/15, and the amount by which 25/24 exceeds the lesser diesis of [[128/125]]. |

| | In 12edo, instead of being tempered out, it is inflated to a whole semitone—five 5/4s make a minor thirteenth (20 steps), while 3/1 is a perfect twelfth (19 steps). Similarly, 25/24 and 16/15 are both mapped to one semitone, making a stack of two 25/24s one semitone larger than 16/15, and 25/24 is mapped to one step while 128/125 is tempered out. |
