:: Yeah, calling 693/676 a "comma" is a bad idea... I mean, the idea of 33/32 being called a "comma" already bugs me considering it's a very useful quartertone, not something we want to try and temper out- unless of course we're talking about EDOs like 12edo or something... --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 20:41, 21 September 2020 (UTC)

::: Being a comma is not a death sentence for an interval ;) As I learned, we have these ranges: 0 .. 3.5 cents for [[:Category:Unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]], 3.5 .. 30 cents for "[[:Category:Comma|comma]]", 30 .. 100 cents for [[:Category:Medium comma|medium comma]], and 100 cents and above for [[:Category:Large comma|large commas]]. Especially the "commacity" is another dimension. I'd say even the Tone [[9/8]] is some kind of comma. I think that the higher the limit the more intervals fight for being ''the representative'' of that limit, the classic diatonic nomenclature (minor/major) helps a bit but this is also limited. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 21:02, 21 September 2020 (UTC)
