Line 29: Line 29:
An interval with a bigger denominator than numerator, like 3/5, indicates a negative interval. 3/5 for example is about -884 cents. A comma can still temper a stack of these. Just imagine it like a stack of 5/3s but going down instead of up. (In an EDO, intervals that go down still wrap back around every octave, so this is possible.)
