37/36, or the 37-limit Wyschnegradsky ~quartertone, is a 2.3.37 subgroup comma. It is the amount by which the octave-reduced 37th harmonic 37/32 exceeds the Pythagorean (major) whole tone of 9/8.
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 tricesimoseptimal (37-limit) interval. In Helmholtz–Ellis notation, the symbol for the downward version of this interval is adapted from the demiflat in Ivan Wyschnegradsky's 72edo notation, whereas the upward version is a simple inverse of the downward version.
