A '''comma''' is a small interval that occurs in [[just intonation]], between two intervals which are close in pitch. Commas are always greater than 1 (0 [[cent]]s) and not a power such as a square or cube of any other interval, and generally in a [[Harmonic Limit|low prime limit]]. The word is often used in reference to [[Regular Temperaments|regular tempering]] when the comma is ''[[tempering_out|tempered out]]'', which is to say reduced to a unison, by the temperament, thereby equating the intervals separated by that comma. For example the Syntonic or Didymus comma of 81/80, which occurs between [[10/9]] and [[9/8]], as well as [[81/64]] and [[5/4]], is tempered out by [[Meantone|meantone temperament]]. Commas are usually written as ratios, but they can also be written as monzos. The following lists mostly give both forms, as well as the size in [[cent]]s.

Commas are usually written as ratios, but they can also be written as monzos. The following lists mostly give both forms, as well as the size in [[cent]]s. Except for the 3-limit commas, the [[Color notation|color name]] refers to both the comma and the temperament created when it is tempered out.


For commas over 100 cents in size, see [[Large commas]]; and for commas under 3.5 cents in size, see [[Unnoticeable commas]]

Definition

A comma is a small interval that occurs in just intonation, between two intervals which are close in pitch. Commas are always greater than 1 (0 cents) and not a power such as a square or cube of any other interval, and generally in a low prime limit. The word is often used in reference to regular tempering when the comma is tempered out, which is to say reduced to a unison, by the temperament, thereby equating the intervals separated by that comma. For example the Syntonic or Didymus comma of 81/80, which occurs between 10/9 and 9/8, as well as 81/64 and 5/4, is tempered out by meantone temperament. Commas are usually written as ratios, but they can also be written as monzos. The following lists mostly give both forms, as well as the size in cents. Except for the 3-limit commas, the color name refers to both the comma and the temperament created when it is tempered out.

For commas over 100 cents in size, see Large commas; and for commas under 3.5 cents in size, see Unnoticeable commas

Due to the wide range of sizes, cents values here and on the other commas pages are listed to 5 significant digits, instead of to a fixed number of decimal places as is the convention elsewhere on the wiki.
