It is the difference between [[16/15]] (the classical diatonic semitone) and [[17/16]] (the large septendecimal semitone) and forms the amount by which a stack consisting of [[15/8]] and 17/16 falls short of an [[octave]]. | '''256/255''', the '''septendecimal kleisma''', '''charisma''', '''char comma''' or '''octave-reduced 255th subharmonic''' is a [[small comma|small]] [[17-limit]] [[superparticular]] comma about 6.8 [[cent]]s in size.
