By a &lt;em&gt;Don Page comma&lt;/em&gt; is meant a comma computed from two other intervals by the method suggested by the Don Page paper, &lt;a class="wiki_link_ext" href="http://arxiv.org/abs/0907.5249" rel="nofollow"&gt;Why the Kirnberger Kernel Is So Small&lt;/a&gt;. If a and b are two rational numbers &amp;gt; 1, define r = ((a-1)(b+1)) / ((b-1)(a+1)). Suppose r reduced to lowest terms is p/q, and a and b are written in &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/Monzos"&gt;monzo&lt;/a&gt; form as u and v. Then the Don Page comma is defined as DPC(a, b) = qu - pv, or else minus that if the size in cents is less than zero. The reason for introducing monzos is purely numerical; if monzos are not used the numerators and denominators of the Don Page comma quickly become so large they cannot easily be handled. In ratio form, the Don Page comma can be written a^q / b^p, or the reciprocal of that if that is less than 1.&lt;br /&gt;
