'''36/35''', the '''septimal quartertone''' | '''36/35''', the '''septimal quartertone''' is a [[7-limit]] interval with a size of about 48.8 [[cent]]s. It arises as the difference between various 7-limit [[interval quality|qualities]] of seconds, thirds, sixths, and sevenths: between supermajor and classical major, and between subminor and classical minor. These are the pairs of intervals separated by 36/35: | ||

[[ | It has a numerator which is both the sixth square number and the eighth [[triangular number]], leading to it being the product of two [[superparticular]] commas both as ([[64/63]])⋅([[81/80]]) and as ([[66/65]])⋅([[78/77]]); it is also ([[45/44]])⋅([[176/175]]), ([[51/50]])⋅([[120/119]]), ([[128/125]])⋅([[225/224]]), ([[50/49]])⋅([[126/125]]) and ([[56/55]])⋅([[99/98]]). | ||

When treated as a comma to be tempered out, it is known as the '''mint comma''', and tempering it out leads to the [[mint]] temperament. See [[ | When treated as a generator, it is almost a fourth of the septimal whole tone [[28/25]], differing by a [[wizma]]. This allows it to be used as a generator for a temperament of [[hemimean]] called [[sengagen]], where 5/4, 7/5 and 7/4 map to 8, 12 and 20 quartertones respectively. | ||

See [[Mint family]] for the family of rank-3 temperaments where it is tempered out, and [[Mint temperaments]] for the collection of rank-2 temperaments where it is tempered out. | |||

In [[Ben Johnston's notation]], this interval is denoted with "{{invert|7}}" (a turned "7"), and the reciprocal 35/36 with an ordinary "7". If the base note is C, then [[7/4]] is reprented by C–Bb7. | |||

In the [[Sagittal]] system, the downward version of this comma (possibly tempered) is represented by the sagittal {{sagittal | \!) }} and is called the '''35 medium diesis''', or '''35M''' for short, because the simplest interval it notates is 35/1 = 5×7 (equiv. 35/16), as for example in C-D{{nbhsp}}{{sagittal | \!) }}. The upward version is called '''1/35M''' or '''35M up''' and is represented by {{sagittal| /|) }}. | |||
