"Kleisma" is a term with several related uses in music theory, to refer to intervals of a certain size or that have a certain function.
The kleisma most commonly refers to:
- The interval 15625/15552;
- By extension, a melodic unit of about the size of 15625/15552 (≈ 8.1 ¢). See Kleisma (interval region);
- In scale theory, the difference between a chroma and a diesis, more precisely a moskleisma, as used in extended meantone notation.
