(WIP)

Comma-prefix names' are a systematic naming system for just intervals developed by CompactStar. Many names in this system match existing terms such as 7/4 being a "subminor seventh" and 11/8 being an "ultrafourth". Unmodified interval names correspond to Pythagorean intervals while prefixes can be added to indicate raising/lowering by a comma. The prefixes for lower primes are added first, for example 36/35 is an "oversuperunison" rather than a "superoverunison".

List of prefixes

Prime limit Comma Positive prefix Negative prefix
5 81/80 over under
7 64/63 super sub
11 33/32 ultra infra
13 27/26 hyper hypo
