High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In musical tuning, the Pythagorean comma (or ditonic comma), named after the ancient mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras, is the microtonal interval defined as the difference between a Pythagorean apotome and a Pythagorean limma.This interval has serious implications for the various tuning schemes of the chromatic scale, because in Western music, 12 perfect fifths and seven octaves are treated as the same interval.
