A semicomma is a very small interval used in microtonal music to describe the differences between intervals in 12 tone equal temperament and intervals derived in Just Intonation. In terms of tuning, the semicomma is approx. 10.06 cents. There are, however, different types of semicommas for very specific uses such as the Septimal Semicomma which is approx. 13.8 cents.
