"Comma" and "diesis" are two terms used to refer to intervals that are less than about 60{{cent}} in size.

"Comma" and "diesis" are two terms used to refer to intervals that are less than about 60{{cent}} in size. In terms of [[interval region]]s, "comma" refers to an interval flatter than about 30{{c}}, and "diesis" refers to an interval between about 30 and 60{{c}}.

"[[Comma]]" also refers to an interval that is tempered out by any given [[temperament]].

~~In terms of [[interval region]]s, "comma" refers to an interval flatter than about 30{{c}}, and "diesis" refers to an interval between about 30 and 60{{c}}.~~

The range of dieses largely overlaps with the range of [[quartertone]]s (between 40 and 60{{c}}, reasonably mapped to 1/24edo), which, according to systems that determine consonance in terms of proximity to simple just ratios, is one of the most dissonant interval regions. This also corresponds to an [[interseptimal]] interval range. However, quarter tones are still covered here to provide a resource for them in the same format as the other interval region pages.
