'''50/49''', the '''jubilisma''' (also '''small septimal sixth-tone''' or '''septimal tritonic diesis''') is a [[7-limit]] [[medium comma]]. It is the only [[superparticular]] [[comma]] in the 7-limit aside from [[126/125]] which has a numerator which is neither square nor [[triangular number|triangular]], meaning it is not the difference between septimal superparticular rations with numerators differing by either one or two; instead, 50/49 = ([[10/7]])/([[7/5]]).

''It cannot be tempered out if all of the consonances of the 7-odd-limit are distinct'', however, it ''can'' be equated with other commas; for example:
