History and etymology

This comma was known as the gentle comma from 2011. In 2022, Margo Schulter requested it should be changed to minor/lesser gentle comma to distinguish it from 352/351, which would gain the name major/greater gentle comma. The minor minthma was also added to this comma in contrast to the major minthma of 352/351. Both commas were essential to define the gentle temperament.
