'''37/36''', | '''37/36''', the '''large tricesimoseptimal''' ('''37-limit''') '''quartertone''', also known as the '''37-limit Wyschnegradsky ~quartertone''' in [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]], is a [[37-limit]] (specifically 2.3.37-subgroup) [[quartertone]]. It is the amount by which the octave-reduced 37th harmonic [[37/32]] exceeds the Pythagorean (major) whole tone of [[9/8]]. It is wider than [[38/37]], the small tricesimoseptimal quartertone, by [[1369/1368]]. | ||

This interval is significant in the [[Functional Just System]] and | This interval is significant in the [[Functional Just System]] and Helmholtz–Ellis notation as the [[formal comma]] to translate a Pythagorean interval to a nearby tricesimoseptimal (37-limit) interval. In Helmholtz–Ellis notation, the symbol for the downward version of this interval is adapted from the demiflat in [[Ivan Wyschnegradsky]]'s [[72edo]] notation, whereas the upward version is a simple inverse of the downward version. | ||
