to mean that which multiplied by a perfect fourth produces 27:20 (519.55 cents); his schisma divided into a perfect fifth produces 40:27 (680.45 cents), and a major sixth times a schisma is 27:16 (905.87 cents). However, by this definition a "schisma" would be what is better known as

as the twelfth root of the Pythagorean comma, or equivalently the difference between the justly tuned fifth (3:2) and the equally tempered fifth of 700 cents (2). This value, 1.955 cents, may be well approximated by converting the ratio 886:885 to cents. This interval is also sometimes
