I don't find the name diatonisma relevant to to this comma. There's nothing in diatonic, Pythagorean tuning or even superpyth that clearly implies the prime 17.

I was recently made aware that there is just intonation musician who has used this comma in composition prior to the year 2023 but wishes to remain anonymous. They call it the "quiet comma" and I suggest renaming 136/135 based on precedence. --Frostburn (talk) 14:13, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

I think superpyth implies a mapping of 17 due to its whole tone fitting ~17/15 very well, but calling it diatonisma for that reason is indeed quite a stretch. That said, we'd like to hear the work you mentioned. If it's not meant to be heard, the author not meant to be known and credited, then imo it's not a good source for the wiki.

I asked them and they insist on anonymity. I guess we'll stick to diatonisma for now. --Frostburn (talk) 17:24, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
