2025/2023: Difference between revisions

Line 7:

The '''fidesma''', with a ratio of '''2025/2023''' is the difference between two [[17/15]] wide whole tones and a [[9/7]] supermajor third. Measuring about 1.7{{cent}}, it is an [[unnoticeable comma]]. It is the [[superpyth]] counterpart of [[1445/1444]], tempered out in any scale where the 5th is sharp enough that two of them approximates 17/15 and four 9/7, most notably [[22edo]], which is very close to quarter comma superpyth.

This comma's name come from ~~the~~ Latin "fidēs" (meaning both "chord"<ref>[[Wiktionary: fides #Etymology 2]]</ref> and "you will rely on"<ref>[[Wiktionary: fido #Latin]]</ref>), which is fitting because those who like more accurate forms of superpyth-like temperaments and scales frequently end up relying on the tempering of this comma for a number of essentially tempered chords.

This comma's name come from both Latin "fidēs" (meaning both "chord"<ref>[[Wiktionary: fides #Etymology 2]]</ref>) and Latin fīdēs (meaning "you will rely on"<ref>[[Wiktionary: fido #Latin]]</ref>), which is fitting because those who like more accurate forms of superpyth-like temperaments and scales frequently end up relying on the tempering of this comma for a number of essentially tempered chords.
