'''2601/2600''', the '''sextantonisma''', is a [[17-limit]] (also 2.3.5.13.17 [[subgroup]]) [[superparticular]] [[comma]] measuring about 0.67 [[cent]]s. It may be properly described as the ''septendecimal sixth-tones comma'', since it is the difference between [[51/50]] and [[52/51]], the two 17-limit sixth-tones. Another prominent identity is the little gap between [[18/13]] and a stack of two [[20/17]]'s.

Tempering out this comma in the 17-limit results in the rank-6 '''sextantonismic temperament''', or in the 2.3.5.13.17 subgroup, the rank-4 '''sextantonic temperament'''.

If [[140625/140608]] is also added to the comma list, the sixth-tone above becomes literally a sixth of [[9/8]] and is tuned exactly middle of 51/50 and 52/51. This temperament, however, strongly suggests also tempering out [[9801/9800]] and/or [[12376/12375]] since 2601/2600 = (9801/9800)(12376/12375)<sup>2</sup>(140625/140608).

2601/2600, the sextantonisma, is an unnoticeable 17-limit (also 2.3.5.13.17-subgroup) superparticular comma measuring about 0.666 cents. It may be properly described as the septendecimal sixth-tones comma, since it is the difference between 51/50 and 52/51, the two 17-limit sixth-tones. It also represents the little gap between 18/13 and a stack of two 20/17's.

Commatic relations

In terms of commas, it is the difference between the following pairs:

* relation within the 2.3.5.13.17 subgroup

Temperaments

Tempering out this comma in the 17-limit results in the rank-6 sextantonismic temperament, or in the 2.3.5.13.17 subgroup, the rank-4 sextantonic temperament. In either case 26/25 is split into two equal parts, each representing 51/50~52/51, and sextantonismic chords are enabled.

If 140625/140608 is also added to the comma list, the sixth-tone above becomes literally a sixth of 9/8 and is tuned exactly middle of 51/50 and 52/51. This temperament, however, strongly suggests also tempering out 9801/9800 and/or 12376/12375 since 2601/2600 = (9801/9800)⋅(12376/12375)2(140625/140608).

Etymology

The sextantonisma was named by Flora Canou in 2023. It is a contraction of sixth-tones comma into a single word consisting of Latin sextans ("sixth") and tonus ("tone"). This comma was chosen as the sixth-tones comma because the sixth-tones it separates lie in the middle of the harmonic series segment of sixth-tones, 48::54.
