'''Comma-prefix names'''' are a systematic naming system for [[just interval]]s developed by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]]. In 2.3.p subgroups, most names in this system correspond to existing terms, such as [[7/4]] being a "subminor seventh", [[11/8]] being an "ultrafourth", although when more than one non-Pythagorean prime is introduced, the names can sometimes become counter-intuitive. Unmodified interval names correspond to [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]] intervals while prefixes can be added to indicate raising/lowering by a comma. The prefixes for lower primes are added first, for example [[36/35]] is an "oversuperunison" rather than a "superoverunison". | '''Comma-prefix names'''' are a systematic naming system for [[just interval]]s developed by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]].
