'''961/960''', the '''tricesimoprimal quarter-tones comma''' is a [[31-limit]] or 2.3.5.31-subgroup [[~~Superparticular~~ ratio|superparticular comma]] of about 1.8 [[cent]]s. It is so named as it forms the difference between the simplest quarter-tones formed from prime 31: [[32/31]] and [[31/30]]. It is also ~~more surprisingly~~ the difference between [[31/24]] and [[40/31]], so that when tempered it splits [[5/3]] into two parts, which finds notable use in the strong canonical extension of [[sensipent]].

'''961/960''', the '''tricesimoprimal quarter-tones comma''' is an [[unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]] [[31-limit]] (specifically 2.3.5.31-subgroup) [[superparticular ratio|superparticular comma]] of about 1.8 [[cent]]s. It is so named as it forms the difference between the simplest quarter-tones formed from prime 31: [[32/31]] and [[31/30]]. It is also the difference between [[31/24]] and [[40/31]], so that when [[tempering out|tempered out]] it splits [[5/3]] into two parts, which finds notable use in the strong canonical extension of [[sensipent]], along with [[escapade]].
