The first comma on a list of preposterous 5-limit commas to round off
to 0 in terms of mus is this

|-573 237 85>

which dave wanted to associate to the 73709 et and I wanted to
associate to the 78005 et, but which we might better associate to the
mu, and call it the "Mu comma" or muc for short.

If anyone wants to muc around with this as a temperament (if it
deserves the word) it has tuning map [<1 39 -102|, <0, -85, 237|].
The poptimal generator range is 86542.3023 to 86542.3033 mus.

Dave who? I don't think I've ever written a word in regard to such
preposterous (good word :-) commas or ETs in my life. And I certainly
don't see any point in giving it a name.
