'''82/81''', the '''reversed meantone comma''', or the '''41-limit Johnston comma''' in [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]], is a 2.3.41-subgroup [[comma]]. It is the amount by which the octave-reduced 41st harmonic [[41/32]] exceeds the Pythagorean major third (ditone) of [[81/64]], and differs from the syntonic comma ([[81/80]]) by [[6561/6560]]. | |||
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 quadracesimoprimal (41-limit) interval. In Helmholtz–Ellis notation, the symbols are adapted from [[Ben Johnston]]'s plus and minus signs representing 81/80. | |||
