'''50/49''', the ''' | '''50/49''', also known as the '''small septimal sixth-tone''', '''small septimal diesis''', '''septimal tritonic diesis''', or '''jubilisma''', 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: | |||
* ([[36/35]])/(50/49) = [[126/125]] | * ([[36/35]])/(50/49) = [[126/125]] | ||
* ([[45/44]])/(50/49) = [[441/440]] | * ([[45/44]])/(50/49) = [[441/440]] | ||

[[Tempering out]] this comma equates the | [[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. | ||
