The '''gammic comma''' ({{monzo|legend=1| -29 -11 20 }}) is a [[small comma|small]] [[5-limit]] [[comma]] with a size of 4.769 [[cent]]s. It is the difference between nine [[5/4|just major thirds]] and eleven [[6/5|just minor thirds]], that is, (5/4)9/(6/5)11. This can also be written as (3/2)/(25/24)10, that is, the difference between a stack of ten [[25/24|classic chromatic semitones]] and a [[5/3|classic major sixth]]; it is part of a series of [[Don Page comma]]s between adjacent [[superparticular]]s, following the [[escapade comma]], which follows the [[Pythagorean comma]]; and also the difference between the [[valentine comma]] and [[sycamore comma]].
