'''37/36''', or the ''' | '''37/36''', or the '''37-limit Wyschnegradsky ~quartertone''', is a 2.3.37 subgroup comma. It is the amount by which the octave-reduced 37th harmonic [[37/32]] exceeds the Pythagorean (major) whole tone of [[9/8]]. | ||
== Notation == | |||
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 tricesimoseptimal (37-limit) interval. In Helmholtz–Ellis notation, the symbol for the downward version of this interval is adapted from the demiflat in [[Ivan Wyschnegradsky]]'s [[72edo]] notation, whereas the upward version is a simple inverse of the downward version. | |||
