In the [[Sagittal]] system, the downward version of this comma (possibly tempered) is represented by the sagittal {{sagittal | \! }} and is called the '''5 comma''', or '''5C''' for short, because the simplest interval it notates is 5/1 (or 5/4), as for example in C-E{{sagittal | \! }}. The upward version is called '''1/5C''' or '''5C up''' and is represented by {{sagittal| /| }}.
