Comma sequence

Comma sequence

A comma sequence defines a musical temperament through a unique sequence of commas at increasing prime limits. [Smith, G.H., [http://lumma.org/tuning/gws/commaseq.htm "Comma Sequences"] , Xenharmony.] The first comma of the comma sequence will be in the q-limit, where q is the nth odd prime, and n is the number of generators. Subsequent commas will be in prime limits each one prime beyond the last.
