'''1029/1024''', the '''gamelisma''', is a [[7-limit]] (also 2.3.7 subgroup) [[small comma]] measuring about 8.4 cents. It is the amount by which a stack of three [[8/7]]s falls short of [[3/2]]. Tempering out this comma for the 2.3.7 subgroup leads to [[slendric]] temperament. In addition to the perfect fifth being split into three equal parts, the [[256/243|Pythagorean limma (256/243)]] is also split into three in the same way, one for [[64/63]]~[[49/48]] and two for [[28/27]]. It therefore provides the little interval known as [[quark]].

* [[Gamelismic family]], the rank-3 family where it is tempered out
Tempering out this comma alone in the 7-limit leads to the rank-3 [[gamelismic]] temperament, or in the 2.3.7 [[subgroup]], the rank-2 [[slendric]] temperament. Either case, it enables the [[slendric pentad]]. See [[Gamelismic family]] for the rank-3 family where it is tempered out. See [[Gamelismic clan]] for the rank-2 clan where it is tempered out.

== Etymology ==
This comma was known as the ''gamelan residue'' no later than May 2001. It was allegedly named by [[Adriaan Fokker]]<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_22907.html Yahoo! Tuning Group| ''Re: "Miracle Scale" -- comparing notes on an exciting week'']</ref>.
