'''2432/2431''', the '''Blumeyer comma''', is a [[19-limit]] [[Superparticular ratio|superparticular comma]] of about 0.71 [[cent]]s. It is the amount by which a stack of [[17/16]] and [[22/19]] falls short of [[16/13~~]]. By tempering it out is defined the '''Blumeyer temperament''', which enables the [[Blumeyer chords~~]].

== Etymology ==

~~The name~~ ''Blumeyer comma'' ~~was named~~ after [[Douglas Blumeyer]] ~~in 2015~~.

In 2011, [[Douglas Blumeyer]] named the ''Blumeyer comma'' after himself.<ref>[https://cmloegcmluin.wordpress.com/2011/08/10/the-blumeyer-comma/ Cmloegcmluin / Douglas Blumeyer's blog - The Blumeyer Comma]</ref> There is no connection between his name and properties of the comma; he was simply in his early days working with microtonality, at Xenharmonic Praxis Summer Camp of that year, and excited to discover this magical-seeming interval featuring exactly one each of the teen primes, then further excited to find no record of anyone else interested in it. So he impulsively threw his name out at it, and used it extensively in his compositions in the following years.
