Septimal semicomma

The starling comma or septimal semicomma, 126/125 (about 13.8 cents), is the superparticular 7-limit comma which is the difference between the 36/35 septimal quartertone and the 50/49 jubilisma. In terms of just intervals, it is the amount by which 12/7 falls short of three 6/5 minor thirds. It is also the amount by which two 5/3 major sixths (octave-reduced) fall short of the 7/5 tritone, and the amount by which three 5/3s (octave-reduced) fall short of the 7/6 septimal minor third. It can be found as the difference between 25/18 and 7/5. It can also be found when comparing the conventional 5-limit minor third and major tenth to the nearest Bohlen–Pierce intervals.

Temperaments

Tempering it out leads to the starling temperament, and three minor thirds plus a 7/6 subminor third, when 126/125 is tempered out, gives the starling tetrad or septimal semicomma diminished seventh chord.
