In the Ph.D. thesis by Ozan Yarman, "79-tone tuning & theory for Turkish maqam music", p.
90 (PDF 106), he mentions the “eksik bakiye” or "diminished limma" of AEU. Looking a bit
further in the tables, AEU apparently uses Pythagorean limit only, that is 3-limit, and not 5-limit.
So it should be a Pythagorean comma, it seems, though in E53 approximations,
the values become the same.
I see. This thesis has the 'eksik bakiye' altering the frequency of the pitch
by a fraction 3^17 / 2^27. That would seem to be motivated by mathematics
rather than traditional harmony. There is not one example in that thesis of
its use in music, so it must be very rare.
Since 'makam.ly' has the flat of the same size, it makes sense to have the
sharp just in case transpose.
Also, the same glyph is used in Sabat's version of Helmholtz-Ellis notation, so
it seems generally useful.
