Large comma

From Xenharmonic Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A Large comma is a comma whose size is approximately 100 cents and larger. As intervals, these commas are steps or even skips.

For commas under 100 cents, see Medium comma for commas in between 30 and 100 cents or Small comma for commas under 30 cents. For commas under 3.5 cents, see Unnoticeable comma.

Except for the 3-limit commas, the color name refers to both the comma and the temperament created when it is tempered out.
