The Pythagorean limma, or Pythagorean diatonic semitone, is the interval of size 256/243 = 28/35 (about 90.2¢), which is the diatonic semitone in Pythagorean tuning. It can be generated by stacking five 4/3 just perfect fourths and octave-reducing the resulting interval.

Temperament

When this ratio is taken as a comma to be tempered (and the starting JI subgroup is the 5-limit), it produces blackwood temperament. Edos tempering it out include 5edo, 10edo, 15edo, 20edo, 25edo and 30edo.
