Interval information |
The sesdecal comma (monzo: [-4 1 7 0 -4⟩, ratio: 234375/234256) is an unnoticeable 11-limit (also 2.3.5.11 subgroup) comma measuring about 0.879 cents. It is the difference between four intervals of 25/22 and 5/3. Lériendil observed that this comma also functions as a way to introduce prime 41 into the 2.3.5.11 subgroup, by noting this to be the difference between 1025/1024 and 600281/600000.
Etymology
The sesdecal was named before 2023[1], though its etymology seems lost. The "decal" part presumably refers to the decal temperament, which tempers it out.
