'''51/50''', the '''large septendecimal sixth tone~~''', or the '''17th-partial chroma~~''', is a [[superparticular]] interval of about 34.3 [[¢]]. It is the formal comma used to express 17-limit intervals in [[Ben Johnston's notation]], being expressed with a "17", while its reciprocal is denoted as ~~<span style=~~"~~display: inline-block; transform: rotate~~(~~180deg~~)">17</~~span> (~~a ~~turned~~ 17).

'''51/50''', the '''large septendecimal sixth tone''', is a [[17-limit]] [[superparticular]] interval of about 34.3 [[cent]]s. It is the interval between [[17/10]] and [[5/3]], between [[17/15]] and [[10/9]], and their respective [[octave complement]]s.

This interval is the 17th-partial chroma (17-limit formal comma) used to express 17-limit intervals in [[Ben Johnston's notation]], being expressed with a "17", while its reciprocal is denoted as "{{invert|17}}" (a turned "17"). If the base note is C, then [[17/16]] is represented by C–C#17.

== Temperaments ==

When treated as a comma, this may be called the '''vengeance comma''' on account of [[25/17]] being named the ''veangence subfifth'' by [[Eliora]] in 2021 from a culturally famous Bible passage, Ezekiel 25:17.
