It is a type of quartertone that differs from [[33/32]] by [[243/242]], and is itself the interval left over after subtracting 33/32 from [[2187/2048]]. While many may be accustomed to thinking of 33/32 and 729/704 as "semiaugmented primes", this analysis is only completely accurate when 243/242 is tempered out. This interval differs from the simpler [[28/27]] by the [[symbiotic comma]].

This interval differs from the simpler [[28/27]] by the [[symbiotic comma]]. Furthermore, three instances of this interval fall short of [[10/9]] by a comma that is only a little over a cent in size. | ||
