- n. In musical acoustics, the interval between the octave of a given tone and the third of the eighth fifth, less four octaves, represented by the ratio , or 32805:32768. This corresponds almost exactly to the difference between a pure and an equally tempered fifth, which difference is hence often called a schisma. A schisma and a diaschisma together make a syntonic comma.
