A further variation is to drop sequences of three zeros thus enclosed by commas, so that 13/8 would appear as {{vector|-3 0, , 1}}. | A further variation is to drop sequences of three zeros thus enclosed by commas, so that 13/8 would appear as {{vector|-3 0, , 1}}. | ||
The stylistic reasoning is that it resembles the use commas in large numbers to separate every third digit (e.g. 1,000,000). The first comma being after prime 3 rather than after the third prime (prime 5) is due to the notational specialness of primes 2 and 3, those being the primes capable of being encoded by standard sheet music (prime 2 by Pythagorean nominals A,B,C,D,E,F,G and prime 3 by sharp and flat symbols). | The stylistic reasoning is that it resembles the use of commas in large numbers to separate every third digit (e.g. 1,000,000).
