289/288: Difference between revisions

Name: "minor seconds" > "semitones" since 17/16 and 18/17 can't both be minor 2nds, remove "integer-cent" since "6-cent" is briefer and more informative

'''289/288''', the '''septendecimal semitones comma''' or the '''septendecimal 6-cent comma''', is a [[17-limit]] (also 2.3.17 [[subgroup]]) [[superparticular]] [[comma]] of about 6 [[cent]]s. It is the difference between [[17/16]] and [[18/17]], as well as between [[17/12]] and [[24/17]]. Tempering it out leads the [[octave]] split into two equal parts, each representing 17/12~24/17. Odd EDOs cannot temper it out.
'''289/288''', the '''semitonisma''', also described as the ''septendecimal semitones comma'' and ''septendecimal 6-cent comma'', is a [[17-limit]] (also 2.3.17 [[subgroup]]) [[superparticular]] [[comma]] of about 6 [[cent]]s. It is the difference between [[17/16]] and [[18/17]], the two septendecimal semitones, as well as between [[17/12]] and [[24/17]], the two septendecimal tritones. It is also the difference between two stacked [[17/16]] and [[9/8]].
 
== Commatic relations ==
This comma identifies itself as the difference between the following superparticular pairs:
* [[85/84]] and [[120/119]]
* [[136/135]] and [[256/255]]
* [[273/272]] and [[4914/4913]]
 
It factors into the following superparticular pairs:
* [[561/560]] and [[595/594]]
* [[442/441]] and [[833/832]]
* [[385/384]] and [[1156/1155]]
* [[325/324]] and [[2601/2600]]
 
== Temperaments ==
Tempering out this comma in the full 17-limit results in the rank-6 '''semitonismic temperament''', or in the 2.3.17 subgroup, the rank-2 '''semitonic temperament'''. In either case the [[octave]] is split into two equal parts, each representing 17/12~24/17, and thus so is the whole tone, each representing 17/16~18/17. Odd edos cannot temper it out.

== Etymology ==
The semitonisma was named by [[Flora Canou]] in 2023. It is a contraction of ''septendecimal semitones comma'' into a single word consisting of Latin ''semi'' ("half") and ''tonus'' ("tone"). However, ''septendecimal semitones comma'' and ''septendecimal 6-cent comma'' were attested much earlier.
