6656/6655, the jacobin comma, apparently named by Gene Ward Smith in 2014, is a 13-limit (also 2.5.11.13 subgroup) superparticular interval of about 0.26 ¢. It is the difference between a stack of three 11/8 superfourths and one 13/10 naiadic plus an octave. In terms of commas, it is the difference between 364/363 and 385/384, between 2080/2079 and 3025/3024 as well as between 4096/4095 and 10648/10647. In the 17-limit, it factors neatly into 12376/12375 × 14400/14399.

Temperaments

By tempering it out, the jacobin temperament is defined. Perhaps most remarkably, 1789edo is an edo that supports the jacobin temperament. You may find a list of good JI-approximating edos that support this temperament below. Although it is more rational to use such edos for this temperament, 1789edo has a unique position due to its number of steps being a hallmark year of the French Revolution.
