'''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.

== Temperaments ==

Tempering it out 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 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.
