The '''septischisma''', a.k.a. '''gary comma''', is a very [[small comma|small]] [[7-limit]] [[comma]] measuring about 3.80 [[cent]]s. It can be considered the septimal counterpart of the [[schisma]]: whereas the schisma is the difference between the [[Pythagorean comma]] and the [[syntonic comma]], the septischisma is the difference between the [[septimal comma]] and the Pythagorean comma. Equivalently, it can be described as the amount by which a stack of two [[Pythagorean apotome]]s falls short of a [[8/7|septimal whole tone]]. It is also the difference between the [[aberschisma]] and the schisma in the full 7-limit.

It factors into the following [[11-limit|11-]] and [[13-limit]] commas:

== Etymology ==

The name of this comma used to be ''garischisma'', from the temperament [[garibaldi]] and the schisma, as it is a similarly sized ~~interval~~ that alongside it, defines garibaldi. This name partly lingers in the subgroup temperament ''gary'' and a number of other rank-2 temperaments.

The current name is a trivial contraction of ''septimal schisma'' into one word.

The current name is a trivial contraction of ''septimal schisma'' into one word, more accurately recognizing its role as the septimal version of the schisma.
