== Temperaments ==

Tempering it out alone in the 7-limit leads to the [[sensamagic]] temperament, where 5/3 is split into two equal parts, each representing 9/7~[[35/27]], and may be extended to represent higher-limit ratios like [[13/10]], [[22/17]], etc. It enables [[sensamagic chords]]. See [[sensamagic family]] for the rank-3 temperament family where it is tempered out. See [[sensamagic clan]] for the rank-2 clan where it is tempered out.

See [[sensamagic family]] for the rank-3 temperament family where it is tempered out. See [[sensamagic clan]] for the rank-2 clan where it is tempered out. Tempering it out in the no-twos 7 limit leads to the nonoctave temperament characteristic of the [[Bohlen-Pierce scale]].

== Etymology ==

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>.
