'''36/35''', the '''septimal quartertone''' (~48.8{{cent}}) is the difference between [[10/9]] and [[8/7]], [[7/6]] and [[6/5]], [[5/4]] and [[9/7]], [[14/9]] and [[8/5]], [[5/3]] and [[12/7]], and [[7/4]] and [[9/5]]. It has a numerator which is both the sixth square number and the eighth [[triangular number]], leading to it being the product of two [[superparticular]] commas both as [[64/63]] × [[81/80]] and as [[66/65]] × [[78/77]]; it is also [[45/44]] × [[176/175]], [[51/50]] × [[120/119]], [[128/125]] × [[225/224]], [[50/49]] × [[126/125]] and [[56/55]] × [[99/98]].
'''36/35''', the '''septimal quartertone''' is a [[7-limit]] interval with a size of about 48.8 [[cent]]s. It arises as the difference between various 7-limit [[interval quality|qualities]] of seconds, thirds, sixths, and sevenths: between supermajor and classical major, and between subminor and classical minor. These are the pairs of intervals separated by 36/35:
* [[28/27]] and [[16/15]]
* [[10/9]] and [[8/7]]
* [[7/6]] and [[6/5]]
* [[5/4]] and [[9/7]]
* [[14/9]] and [[8/5]]
* [[5/3]] and [[12/7]]
* [[7/4]] and [[9/5]]
* [[15/8]] and [[27/14]]
 
It has a numerator which is both the sixth square number and the eighth [[triangular number]], leading to it being the product of two [[superparticular]] commas both as ([[64/63]])⋅([[81/80]]) and as ([[66/65]])⋅([[78/77]]); it is also ([[45/44]])⋅([[176/175]]), ([[51/50]])⋅([[120/119]]), ([[128/125]])⋅([[225/224]]), ([[50/49]])⋅([[126/125]]) and ([[56/55]])⋅([[99/98]]).

When treated as a generator, it is almost a fourth of the septimal whole tone [[28/25]], differing by a [[wizma]]. This allows it to be used as a generator for an extension of [[Hemimean family|hemimean]] called [[sengagen]], where 5/4, 7/5 and 7/4 map to 8, 12 and 20 quartertones respectively.

When treated as a comma to be tempered out, it is known as the '''mint comma''', and tempering it out leads to the [[mint]] temperament. See [[mint family]], the family of rank-3 temperaments where it is tempered out, and [[mint temperaments]], the collection of rank-2 temperaments where it is tempered out.
