'''36/35''', the '''septimal quartertone''' | '''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: | ||

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]]). | |||
