Unnoticeable comma: Difference between revisions

Line 1:

'''Unnoticeable commas''' are very small intervals. These commas are called "unnoticeable" because, being equal to or less than 3.5 cents, they are smaller than the average peak [http://musictheory.zentral.zone/huntsystem2.html#2 JND] (just-noticeable difference) of human pitch perception, as illustrated by the research of [[Aaron_Andrew_Hunt|Aaron Andrew Hunt]]. It is improbable that even a trained listener would be able to notice these intervals, and as such they a prime target for psychoacoustically informed [[Microtempering|microtempering]].

For commas over 100 cents in size, see [[Large commas]]; and for commas over 3.5 cents in size, see [[Comma|Commas]].

For commas over 100 cents in size, see [[Large commas]]; for commas in between 30 and 100 cents in size, see [[Medium commas]]; and for commas over 3.5 cents in size, see [[Comma|Commas]].

Due to the wide range of sizes, cents values here and on the other commas pages are listed to 5 significant digits, instead of to a fixed number of decimal places as is the [[conventions|convention]] elsewhere on the wiki. Except for the 3-limit commas, the [[Color notation|color name]] refers to both the comma and the temperament created when it is tempered out.
