(3/2)12 = 129.75
. The difference between 129.75 and 128 is known as the comma of Pythagoras . The equal-temperament scale , which has been in use since the time of J. S. Bach, distributes the comma of Pythagoras equally between the 12 intervals of the scale over seven octaves. Thus each fifth becomes
(128)1/12 = 1.4983
. All forms of temperament involve a measure of compromise; this system is now regarded as the best
