The 5-limit parent comma for the schismatic family is the [[schisma]] of 32805/32768, which is the amount by which the Pythagorean comma exceeds the [[Didymus comma]] ([[81_80|81/80]]), or alternatively put, the difference between a just major third and a just diminished fourth. Its [[monzo]] is |-15 8 1>, and flipping that yields <<1 -8 -15|| for the [[Wedgies and Multivals|wedgie]]. This tells us the generator is a fifth and that we will need eight fourths in succession to reach the pitch class of a major third. In fact, 10 = (4/3)^8 * 32805/32768. | The 5-limit parent comma for the schismatic family is the [[schisma]] of 32805/32768, which is the amount by which the Pythagorean comma exceeds the [[Didymus comma]] ([[81_80|81/80]]), or alternatively put, the difference between a just major third and a just diminished fourth.
