A '''medium comma''' is a [[comma]] whose size is approximately between 30 and 100 cents. These commas are easily perceptible.
A '''medium comma''' is a [[comma]] whose size is approximately between 30 and 100 cents. These commas are easily perceptible. Many schools do not consider them true commas. In [[Sagittal notation]], intervals in the smaller part of this category are [[diesis (interval region)|dieses]], and intervals in the larger part of this category are [[semitone (interval region)|semitones]]<ref>[https://sagittal.org/sagittal.pdf ''Sagittal – A Microtonal Notation System''] by [[George Secor|George D. Secor]] and [[Dave Keenan|David C. Keenan]]</ref>.  


For commas over 100 cents, see [[Large comma]]; for commas under 30 cents, see [[Small comma]]; for such under 3.5 cents see [[Unnoticeable comma]].
For commas over 100 cents, see [[Large comma]]; for commas under 30 cents, see [[Small comma]]; for such under 3.5 cents see [[Unnoticeable comma]].

Except for the 3-limit commas, the [[color name]] refers to both the comma and the temperament created when it is tempered out.
Except for the 3-limit commas, the [[color name]] refers to both the comma and the temperament created when it is tempered out.


==List of commas, by prime limit==
The commas might be numerous, but there is no need to memorise all the names. For pretty much all use cases, it is perfectly acceptable – preferred, even – to just refer to a comma by the monzo or ratio, whichever is simpler.

A medium comma is a comma whose size is approximately between 30 and 100 cents. These commas are easily perceptible. Many schools do not consider them true commas. In Sagittal notation, intervals in the smaller part of this category are dieses, and intervals in the larger part of this category are semitones[1].

For commas over 100 cents, see Large comma; for commas under 30 cents, see Small comma; for such under 3.5 cents see Unnoticeable comma.

Except for the 3-limit commas, the color name refers to both the comma and the temperament created when it is tempered out.

The commas might be numerous, but there is no need to memorise all the names. For pretty much all use cases, it is perfectly acceptable – preferred, even – to just refer to a comma by the monzo or ratio, whichever is simpler.
