Quoted text:
A “comma” is “a small disagreement between two different definitions of a tone”; e.g., the Pythagorean, diaschisma, diesis (McClain[1] 1976: glossary).
- ↑ Ernest G. McClain, The Myth of Invariance: The Origin of the Gods, Mathematics and Music from the Rg Veda to Plato (Maine: 1976), glossary.
Since “e.g., the Pythagorean, diaschisma, diesis” was not part of the quotation in the definition of a “comma” per this source, would you like to help us expand and explain the phrase?
