This comma occurs as the difference between certain 5-limit and 37-limit intervals. The octave-reduced 37th harmonic ([[37/32]]) is a [[semifourth]] about 251{{c}}, while the [[5-limit]] triptolemaic augmented second ([[125/108]]) is approximately 253{{c}}. The difference between these intervals equals 1000/999. | This comma occurs as the difference between certain 5-limit and 37-limit intervals.
