e/Holdrian comma

New Query

Information
has glosseng: In music theory and musical tuning the Holdrian comma, also called Holders comma, and sometimes the Arabian comma , is a small musical interval of approximately 22.6415 cents, equal to one step of 53 equal temperament, or \sqrt[53]2} . The name comma is misleading, since this interval is an irrational number and does not describe the compromise between intervals of any tuning system; it assumes this name because it is an approximation of the syntonic comma , which was widely used as a measurement of tuning in William Holders time.
