Abstract
We introduce a noncommutative calculus on the odd-symplectic superspace of fields and antifields. To this end we have to extend to by including an extra anticommuting field . As a consequence we show that the commutator induced on is proportional to the antibracket. The -operator is an element of the quotient space of derivations twisted by the antibracket and . The natural measure on is shown to be invariant under canonical transformations provided a certain 'wave equation' is satisfied.
