1029/1024, the slendric comma or gamelisma, is a 7-limit (also 2.3.7 subgroup) small comma measuring about 8.4 cents. It is the amount by which a stack of three 8/7s falls short of 3/2. Tempering out this comma for the 2.3.7 subgroup leads to slendric temperament. In addition to the perfect fifth being split into three equal parts, the Pythagorean limma (256/243) is also split into three in the same way, one for 64/63~49/48 and two for 28/27. It therefore provides the little interval known as a quark.

Temperaments

Tempering out this comma alone in the 7-limit leads to the rank-3 gamelismic temperament, or in the 2.3.7 subgroup, the rank-2 slendric temperament. In either case, it enables the slendric pentad. See Gamelismic family for the rank-3 family where it is tempered out. See Gamelismic clan for the rank-2 clan where it is tempered out.

Etymology

This comma was known as the gamelan residue no later than May 2001. It was allegedly named by Adriaan Fokker[1].
