Interval information |
The amity comma ([9 -13 5⟩ = 1600000/1594323) is an interval of 6.154 cents, the amount by which five minor whole tones (10/9) exceed the Pythagorean major sixth (27/16). It belongs to the syntonic-chromatic equivalence continuum and is equal to the difference between an apotome and a stack of five syntonic commas ((2187/2048)/(81/80)5), or in terms of classic chromatic semitone, between a classic chromatic semitone and a stack of three syntonic commas ((25/24)/(81/80)3). Tempering it out leads to the amity family of temperaments.
