45/28
45/28, conventionally known as the septimal wide minor sixth or marvel-ptolemaic minor sixth, is an interval that is sharp of the Pythagorean minor sixth by 3645/3584, i.e. a syntonic comma plus a marvel comma. However, it functions more commonly as an augmented fifth, sharp of the Pythagorean augmented fifth by an aberschisma. This gives rise to the more precise name aberschismic augmented fifth, and in fact it arises as the result of stacking certain 9-odd-limit consonances – of 5/4 and 9/7, and of 9/8 and 10/7.
