'''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]].

|Size in [[Cent|cents]]
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.

[[Category:Reversed meantone]]
'''82/81''', or the 41'''-limit Johnston comma (HEJI)''', is a 2.3.41 subgroup comma. It is the amount by which 41/32 (the 41st harmonic) exceeds the Pythagorean major third (ditone) of 81/64. It is significant in [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]] as the formal comma to translate a Pythagorean interval to a nearby 41-limit (prefix???) interval.
