The '''Pythagorean limma''', or '''Pythagorean diatonic semitone''', is the interval of size 256/243 = 2<sup>8</sup>/3<sup>5</sup> (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. | The '''Pythagorean limma''', or '''Pythagorean diatonic semitone''', is the interval of size 256/243 = 2<sup>8</sup>/3<sup>5</sup> (about 90.2¢), which is the diatonic semitone in Pythagorean tuning.
