736/729, the 23-limit Tenney/Cage comma, is a 2.3.23 subgroup comma. It is the amount by which 23/16 (the 23rd harmonic) exceeds the Pythagorean augemented fourth (729/512). It is significant in Helmholtz-Ellis notation as the formal comma to translate a Pythagorean interval to a nearby 23-limit (vicesimotertial) interval.

Sagittal notation

In the Sagittal system, this comma (possibly tempered) is represented by the sagittal ⁠ ⁠ and is called the 23 comma, or 23C for short, because the simplest ratio it notates is 16:23, as for example in F:B⁠ ⁠.
