'''37/36''', or the '''37-limit Wyschnegradsky ~quartertone''', is a 2.3.37 subgroup comma. It is the amount by which the octave-reduced 37th harmonic [[37/32]] exceeds the Pythagorean (major) whole tone of [[9/8]].  
'''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]].  


== Notation ==
== Notation ==
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.
