| The '''schisma''', '''32805/32768''', is the difference between the [[Pythagorean comma]] and the [[syntonic comma]]. It is equal to ([[9/8]])<sup>4</sup>/([[8/5]]) and to ([[135/128]])/([[256/243]]) and also to ([[9/8]])<sup>3</sup>/([[64/45]]). | | The '''schisma''', '''32805/32768''', is a small interval about 2 [[cent]]s. It arises as the difference between the [[Pythagorean comma]] and the [[syntonic comma]]. It is equal to ([[9/8]])<sup>4</sup>/([[8/5]]) and to ([[135/128]])/([[256/243]]) and also to ([[9/8]])<sup>3</sup>/([[64/45]]). |

| == Other intervals ==

| Commas arising from the difference between a stack of Pythagorean intervals and other primes may also be called schismas. The difference between the [[Pythagorean comma]] and [[septimal comma]] is called the [[septimal schisma]]. Other examples are [[undevicesimal schisma]], [[Alpharabian schisma]] and [[tridecaschisma]].

| {{See also| No-sevens subgroup temperaments #Nestoria }} | | ''Schisma'' is a borrowing of Ancient Greek, meaning "split". The term was first used by [[Boethius]] (6th century), in his ''De institutione musica'', using it to refer to half of the [[Pythagorean comma]]. The modern sense was introduced by [[Helmholtz]]' ''On the Sensations of Tone'', in particular the translation by [[Alexander Ellis]], where it is spelled ''skhisma''. Since it is extremely close to the [[superparticular]] ratio 887/886 {{nowrap|(2<sup>-1</sup>⋅443<sup>-1</sup>⋅887)}}, it is used interchangably with this interval in some of Helmholtz' writing. |

| Nestoria tempers out [[361/360]] (S19) and [[513/512]] (S15/S20), and can be described as the 12 & 53 temperament in the 2.3.5.19 subgroup. This is derived since the schisma is expressible as [[361/360|S19]]/([[1216/1215|S16/S18]])<sup>2</sup> and ([[513/512|S15/S20]])/([[1216/1215|S16/S18]]).

| Garibaldi tempers out [[225/224]] (S15) and [[5120/5103]] (S8/S9), and can be described as the 41 & 53 temperament in the 7-limit. This is derived since the schisma is also equal to [[225/224|S15]]/([[5120/5103|S8/S9]]).

| Adding nestoria to garibaldi (tempering [[400/399]] (S20)) results in an extremely elegant temperament which has all of the same patent tunings that garibaldi has but which includes a mapping for 19 through nestoria.

| |
| As the schisma also equals [[57375/57344|S15/S16]] * [[1701/1700|S18/S20]], we can derive the extremely accurate 12 & 118 & 171 temperament:

| The schisma can additionally split into two superparticular commas in the 41-limit: 32805/32768 = ([[1025/1024]])*([[6561/6560]]). Tempering both of these out provides a natural mapping for prime 41, if a little less practical than those for 19 or 7. | |
