'''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]] and [[4375/4374]] 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:

[[Tempering out]] this comma equates the tritone [[7/5]] with [[10/7]], its octave complement, leading to temperaments where the square root of two does service for both. See [[Jubilismic family]] for the rank-3 family where it is tempered out. See [[Jubilismic clan]] for the rank-2 clan where it is tempered out.  
[[Tempering out]] this comma equates the two septimal tritones (i.e. [[7/5]] and [[10/7]]) with each other, leading to temperaments where the square root of two approximates both. See [[Jubilismic family]] for the rank-3 family where it is tempered out, and [[Jubilismic clan]] for the rank-2 clan where it is tempered out.  


Equal temperaments tempering out 50/49 include [[12edo]], [[22edo]], [[26edo]], [[38edo]], [[48edo]] and [[54edo]].
