43-limit Johnston comma
reduced,
reduced harmonic
129/128, the 43rd-partial chroma or 43-limit Johnston comma is a 2.3.43 subgroup comma. It is the amount by which the octave-reduced 43rd harmonic 43/32 exceeds the perfect fourth (4/3).
This interval is the 43rd-partial chroma (43-limit formal comma) used to express 43-limit intervals in the Functional Just System and Helmholtz-Ellis notation, as well as extended Ben Johnston's notation. It is significant to translate a Pythagorean interval to a nearby quadragesimotertial interval.
Etymology
This interval was named the 43rd-partial chroma or 43-limit Johnston comma by Stephen Weigel in 2023.
