A Mersenne comma is a comma of the form [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{2^n}{2^n-1} }[/math].

Since Mersenne prime commas are of the form 2 / M, they are of no interest to EDO theory at all, as they are merely equate a specific prime harmonic with the octave. Therefore, this time Mersenne composite numbers enter the stage - sequence A135972 in OEIS.
