Comma: Difference between revisions

Line 10:

The word is often used in reference to [[Regular Temperaments|regular tempering]] when the comma is ''[[tempered out]]'', which is to say reduced to a unison, by the temperament, thereby equating the intervals separated by that comma. For example, the Syntonic or Didymus comma of [[81/80]], which occurs between [[10/9]] and [[9/8]], as well as [[81/64]] and [[5/4]], is tempered out by [[meantone]] temperament.

Commas are usually written as [[ratio]]s, but they can also be written as [[monzo]]s. The following lists mostly give both forms, as well as the size in [[cent]]s. The [[Color notation|color name]] refers to both the comma and the temperament created when it is tempered out, except for 3-limit commas, which create [[edo]]s.

Commas are usually written as [[ratio]]s, but they can also be written as vectors, sometimes called "[[monzo]]s" or unison vectors. The following lists mostly give both forms, as well as the size in [[cent]]s. The [[Color notation|color name]] refers to both the comma and the temperament created when it is tempered out, except for 3-limit commas, which create [[edo]]s.
