::: 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.
