50/49
| Interval information |
small septimal sixth-tone,
(septimal) tritonic diesis
Biruyo comma
reduced
50/49, the jubilisma (also small septimal sixth-tone or septimal tritonic diesis) is a 7-limit medium comma. It is the only superparticular comma in the 7-limit aside from 126/125 which has a numerator which is neither square nor triangular, meaning it is not the difference between septimal superparticular rations with numerators differing by either one or two; instead, 50/49 = (10/7)/(7/5).
Temperaments
Tempering out this comma equates the 7/5 with 10/7, its octave complement, leading to temperaments where the square root of two does service for both. See Jubilismic family for the rank-3 family where it is tempered out. See Jubilismic clan for the rank-2 clan where it is tempered out.
Equal temperaments tempering out 50/49 include 12edo, 22edo, 26edo, 38edo, 48edo and 54edo.
