::: Being a comma is not a death sentence for an interval ;) As I learned, we have these ranges: 0 .. 3.5 cents for [[:Category:Unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]], 3.5 .. 30 cents for "[[:Category:Comma|comma]]", 30 .. 100 cents for [[:Category:Medium comma|medium comma]], and 100 cents and above for [[:Category:Large comma|large commas]]. Especially the "commacity" is another dimension. I'd say even the Tone [[9/8]] is some kind of comma. I think that the higher the limit the more intervals fight for being ''the representative'' of that limit, the classic diatonic nomenclature (minor/major) helps a bit but this is also limited. --[[User:Xenwolf|Xenwolf]] ([[User talk:Xenwolf|talk]]) 21:02, 21 September 2020 (UTC) | ::: Being a comma is not a death sentence for an interval ;) As I learned, we have these ranges: 0 .. 3.5 cents for [[:Category:Unnoticeable comma|unnoticeable]], 3.5 .. 30 cents for "[[:Category:Comma|comma]]", 30 .. 100 cents for [[:Category:Medium comma|medium comma]], and 100 cents and above for [[:Category:Large comma|large commas]].

:::: At the same time, however, only intervals above 25 cents can be reasonably used as melodic intervals, and, the way I see it, commas in the purest sense can't really do that well.

Yes, I'm aware that there are limitations to the classic diatonic nomenclature, however, said nomenclature is still needed, even if we must incorporate it into a larger system. --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 02:17, 22 September 2020 (UTC) |
