Copper comma, or alternately 29-atom is a 5-limit comma which is to 29edo as is the Kirnberger's atom is to 12edo.

Temperaments

Tempering it out results in the rank-2 copper temperament, which splits the octave into 29 parts, and the reduced generator is the difference between a more precise fifth and the 29-tone-tempered one, just as atomic does to 12edo.

A circle of 29 of the sharpened fifths equal to [-16 9 1, differs from 17 octaves by the copper comma. The difference is that since 29edo is an above-pythagorean temperament, the copper fifth is sharp of 3/2.
