The '''hemifamity family''' of [[rank-3 temperament|rank-3]] [[regular temperament|temperaments]] [[tempering out|tempers out]] [[5120/5103]] ({{monzo|legend=1| 10 -6 1 -1 }}), the hemifamity comma. These temperaments divide an exact or approximate septimal quartertone, [[36/35]] into two equal steps, each representing [[81/80]]~[[64/63]], the syntonic comma or the septimal comma. Therefore, classical and septimal intervals are found by the same [[chain of fifths]] inflected by the same comma to the opposite sides. In addition we may identify [[10/7]] by the augmented fourth (C–F#) and [[50/49]] by the [[Pythagorean comma]].

In addition we may identify [[10/7]] by the augmented fourth (C–F#) and [[50/49]] by the [[Pythagorean comma]]. Hemifamity can be compared to [[garibaldi]], with garibaldi expanding the interpretations of 81/80~64/63 to include the Pythagorean comma, or alternatively, hemifamity can be seen as liberating the syntonic-septimal comma from garibaldi's chain of fifths.  


It is therefore very handy to adopt an additional module of accidentals such as arrows to represent the syntonic~septimal comma, in which case we have [[5/4]] at the down major third (C–vE) and [[7/4]] at the down minor seventh (C–vBb).
