Commas are usually written as [[frequency ratio]]s, but they can also be written as vectors, sometimes called [[monzo]]s or '''unison vectors'''. The following lists mostly give both forms, as well as the size in cents. The [[color name]] refers to both the comma and the temperament created when it is tempered out, except for 3-limit commas, which create [[edo]]s.

== As an interval region ==
''Comma'' can, less often, be used to refer to any interval bigger than 0 [[cents]], but smaller than around 30 cents. To distinguish this from the more widely used definition of ''comma'' described above, this is usually called '''comma (interval region)'''. For ''comma (interval region)'', see the page: '''[[Comma and diesis]]'''.
