'''36/35''', the '''septimal quartertone''' (~48.8{{cent}}) is the difference between [[10/9]] and [[8/7]], [[7/6]] and [[6/5]], [[5/4]] and [[9/7]], [[14/9]] and [[8/5]], [[5/3]] and [[12/7]], and [[7/4]] and [[9/5]]. It has a numerator which is both the sixth square number and the eighth [[triangular number]], leading to it being the product of two [[superparticular]] commas both as [[64/63]] × [[81/80]] and as [[66/65]] × [[78/77]]; it is also [[45/44]] × [[176/175]], [[51/50]] × [[120/119]], [[128/125]] × [[225/224]], [[50/49]] × [[126/125]] and [[56/55]] × [[99/98]].

[[Ben Johnston's notation]] denotes this interval with "<span style="display: inline-block; transform: rotate(180deg)">7</span>" (a turned 7), and the reciprocal 35/36 with an ordinary 7.

The name ''mint comma'' was given by [[Mike Battaglia]] in 2012, for <u>min</u>or <u>t</u>hird because "it mixes 7/6 and 6/5 together into one minty interval"<ref>[https://yahootuninggroupsultimatebackup.github.io/tuning/topicId_103732.html Yahoo! Tuning Group | ''Quartonic'']</ref>. Before that, it had been known as the ''quartonic comma'', which refers to another comma today.

== Sagittal notation ==
== Notation ==
In the [[Sagittal]] system, the downward version of this comma (possibly tempered) is represented by the sagittal {{sagittal | \!) }} and is called the '''35 medium diesis''', or '''35M''' for short, because the simplest ratio it notates is 16:35, as for example in C:D&#x200A;{{sagittal | \!) }}. The upward version is called '''1/35M''' or '''35M up''' and is represented by {{sagittal| /|) }}.
=== Ben Johnston's notation ===
In [[Ben Johnston's notation]], this interval is denoted with "{{invert|7}}" (a turned "7"), and the reciprocal 35/36 with an ordinary "7". If the base note is C, then [[7/4]] is reprented by C–Bb7.

The upward version is called '''1/35M''' or '''35M up''' and is represented by {{sagittal| /|) }}.
