Interval information |
10985/10976, otherwise known as the cantonisma, is an unnoticeable comma of the 13-limit with a value of approximately 1.4 cents. It forms the difference by which a stack of three 14/13's (trienthirds) falls short of 5/4 (classical major third). It factors into (1716/1715)(4225/4224). It is tempered out in such notable edos as 46, 84, 94, 103, 111, 121, 130, 159, 224, 270, 494 and 764, leading to a variety of temperaments in which three trienthirds make up a 5/4 major third.
Etymology
This comma was named by Margo Schulter in 2013 after Gene Ward Smith's canton scale[1].
