This page presents a novelty topic.
It may contain ideas which are less likely to find practical applications in music, or numbers or structures that are arbitrary or exceedingly small, large, or complex. Novelty topics are often developed by a single person or a small group. As such, this page may also contain idiosyncratic terms, notation, or conceptual frameworks. |
33698267/33554432, or the sylvisma[idiosyncratic term], is a small 19-limit comma of about 7.4c that is the difference between the stacking of 3 323/256 major thirds and 1 octave. It is notably tempered out in 12edo and arsenic temperament.
