The '''schisma''', '''32805/32768''', is the difference between the [[Pythagorean comma]] and the [[syntonic comma]]. It is equal to ([[9/8]])<sup>3</sup>/([[64/45]]). Tempering it out gives a [[5-limit]] microtemperament, which if extended to larger subgroups leads to the [[schismatic family]] of temperaments. | The '''schisma''', '''32805/32768''', is the difference between the [[Pythagorean comma]] and the [[syntonic comma]].
