The sensamagic comma was named by [[Gene Ward Smith]] in 2010<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_88759.html ''Some unnamed 7-limit temperaments'']</ref> | The sensamagic comma was named by [[Gene Ward Smith]] in 2010. It is the concatenation of [[sensi]] and [[magic]]. Before that, it was sometimes known as the ''octarod'' comma<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_88759.html ''Some unnamed 7-limit temperaments'']</ref>. | ||
: ''Here's a thought: 245/243 tells us that two 9/7['s] make up a 5/3. Hence, the temperaments which most exploit this and for which the comma is most characteristic are the ones where 9/7 has a low complexity. And this means sensi (complexity 1) and magic (complexity 2). So my proposal "sensamagic" is the way to go by this reasoning, which strikes me as pretty strong.'' | : ''Here's a thought: 245/243 tells us that two 9/7['s] make up a 5/3.
