'''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 a [[31-limit]] or 2.3.5.31-subgroup [[Superparticular ratio|superparticular comma]] of about 1.8 [[cent]]s.
