Even if "syntonic comma" is an extremely well-established name, I'd still generally just call it 81/80 after all. On Xen Wiki, page titles of articles about commas with 4 or fewer digits in the numerator and denominator are fractions; with 5 or more digits they are the name. I think we will need a different standard here, but that's the idea. --[[User:Lériendil|Lériendil]] ([[User talk:Lériendil|talk]]) 17:57, 11 December 2025 (UTC)</ins></div></td></tr> </table>

<p><span class="autocomment">What to use for the cutoff for referring to just intervals by name?: </span> new section</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>== What to use for the cutoff for referring to just intervals by name? ==<br /> <br /> I&#039;ve identified a few categories of just intervals, and my takes on each of them:<br /> <br /> - Names by prime limit (&quot;septimal major third&quot;, &quot;classical minor sixth&quot;, &quot;septimal minor semitone&quot;) - avoid<br /> <br /> - Names of Pythagorean intervals (&quot;Pythagorean major third&quot;) - use, but preferably &quot;diatonic&quot; when discussing temperaments<br /> <br /> - Any name of an interval with an absurdly complex ratio (&quot;mabilisma&quot;, &quot;Pythagorean wolf fifth&quot;) - use<br /> <br /> - Any name of an interval that&#039;s treated as a comma - use<br /> <br /> - Names by commatic alteration (&quot;diptolemaic chromatic semitone&quot;, &quot;Alpharabian artoneutral third&quot;) - ????<br /> <br /> - Names of just intervals that specify that they are &quot;chromatic&quot; or &quot;diatonic&quot; semitones beyond the 5-limit, or use the enharmonic interval categories in their names (&quot;large undecimal diminished octave&quot;) - ????<br /> <br /> What are your thoughts on each of my takes here, and what other categories would you include?<br /> <br /> -- [[User:Vector|Vector]] ([[User talk:Vector|talk]]) 09:16, 11 December 2025 (UTC)</div>
