which is square-(super)particular ''k'' for a given integer {{nowrap|''k'' > 1}}. A suggested shorthand for this interval is '''S''k''''' for the ''k''-th square superparticular, where the ''S'' stands for "(Shorthand for) Second-order/Square Superparticular". This will be used later in this article as the notation will prove powerful in understanding the commas and implied tempered structures of [[regular temperament]]s. Note that this means {{nowrap|S2 {{=}} [[4/3]]}} is the first musically meaningful square-particular, as {{nowrap|S1 {{=}} 1/0}}.

Also note that we use the notation S''k''''p'' to mean (S''k'')''p'' rather than S(''k''''p'') for convenience in the practical analysis of regular temperaments using [[S-expression]]s.
