== Sagittal notation == | == Notation == | ||
This interval is significant in the [[Functional Just System]] and [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]] as the formal comma to translate a Pythagorean interval to a nearby 23-limit (vicesimotertial) interval. | |||
=== Sagittal notation === | |||
In the [[Sagittal]] system, this comma (possibly tempered) is represented by the sagittal {{sagittal | |~ }} and is called the '''23 comma''', or '''23C''' for short, because the simplest interval it notates is 23/1 (equiv. 23/16), as for example in F-B{{nbhsp}}{{sagittal | |~ }}. The downward version is called '''1/23C''' or '''23C down''' and is represented by {{sagittal| !~ }}. | In the [[Sagittal]] system, this comma (possibly tempered) is represented by the sagittal {{sagittal | |~ }} and is called the '''23 comma''', or '''23C''' for short, because the simplest interval it notates is 23/1 (equiv. 23/16), as for example in F-B{{nbhsp}}{{sagittal | |~ }}.
