The '''septendecimal schisma'''<ref>[https://marsbat.space/pdfs/HEJI2legend+series.pdf The Helmholtz-Ellis JI Pitch Notation (HEJI)]</ref>, '''2187/2176''', is a [[17-limit]] [[comma]] measuring about 8.7{{cent}}. Although several times in size, it shares similarities with the [[schisma]] – while the schisma is the amount by which [[16/15]] deviates from [[2187/2048]], the septendecimal schisma is the amount by which [[17/16]] deviates from 2187/2048.

The '''septendecimal schisma'''<ref>[https://marsbat.space/pdfs/HEJI2legend+series.pdf The Helmholtz-Ellis JI Pitch Notation (HEJI)]</ref>, '''2187/2176''', is a [[17-limit]] [[comma]] measuring about 8.7{{cent}}. It is most intuitively described as the difference betwen the stack of 7 [[3/2]] perfect fifths and [[17/1|17th harmonic]].

Although several times in size, it shares similarities with the [[schisma]] – while the schisma is the amount by which [[16/15]] deviates from [[2187/2048]], the septendecimal schisma is the amount by which [[17/16]] deviates from 2187/2048.

Besides the relationship above, it is also the difference between [[18/17]] and [[256/243]], between [[24/17]] and [[1024/729]], and their respective inverses. Furthermore, it and the septendecimal comma [[4131/4096]] make a [[Pythagorean comma]].
