In [[11-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''99/64''' is an '''undecimal superfifth''' of about 755.2{{cent}}. This interval is also known as the '''undecimal major fifth''' through analogy with [[16/11]] being the "minor fifth" as named by [[Ivan Wyschnegradsky]], and can additionally be somewhat similarly dubbed the '''Alpharabian paramajor fifth''' or even the '''just paramajor fifth'''. It is distinguished from the simpler [[17/11]] by the twosquare comma ([[1089/1088]]).

Despite being relatively more complex, 99/64 is actually pretty useful as an interval for those who work more extensively with the 11-limit.  For example, [[Margo Schulter]] has stated that it is useful in a Neo-Medieval European setting as a substitute for [[14/9]], and is closer to the likeliest interpretation- such as that of Jay Rahn- of [[Wikipedia: Marchetto da Padova|Marcheto]] (or Marchettus or Marchetto) of Padua in 1318 than her own older septimal interpretation of the same interval.
