'''129/128''', or the '''43-limit Johnston comma (HEJI)''', is a 2.3.43 subgroup comma. It is the amount by which the octave-reduced 43rd harmonic [[43/32]] exceeds the [[4/3|perfect fourth (4/3)]]. It is significant in the [[Functional Just System]] and [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]] as the formal comma to translate a Pythagorean interval to a nearby quadragesimotertial interval.
'''129/128''', the '''43rd-partial chroma''' or '''43-limit Johnston comma''' is a 2.3.43 subgroup comma. It is the amount by which the octave-reduced 43rd harmonic [[43/32]] exceeds the [[4/3|perfect fourth (4/3)]].
 
This interval is the 43rd-partial chroma (43-limit formal comma) used to express 43-limit intervals in the [[Functional Just System]] and [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]], as well as extended [[Ben Johnston's notation]]. It is significant to translate a Pythagorean interval to a nearby quadragesimotertial interval.
 
== Etymology ==
This interval was named the 43rd-partial chroma or 43-limit Johnston comma by [[Stephen Weigel]] in 2023.
