-'''261/256''', or the '''29-limit ~sixth tone''', is a 2.3.29 subgroup comma. It is the amount by which 29/16 (the 29th harmonic) exceeds the Pythagorean minor seventh (16/9). It is significant in [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]] as the formal comma to translate a Pythagorean interval to a nearby 29-limit (prefix???) interval.
