In [[17-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''32/17''' is the '''septendecimal major seventh''' or the '''septendecimal diminished octave''', depending on how one views it. It is also the octave-reduced 17th [[subharmonic]]. Its inversion is [[17/16]], the octave-reduced 17th harmonic. Measuring about 1095{{cent}}, it is the [[mediant]] between [[15/8]] and [[17/9]].

Measuring about 1095.045¢, it is the [[mediant]] between [[15_8|15/8]] and [[17_9|17/9]], the "large septendecimal major seventh". Its inversion is [[17_16|17/16]], the "large septendecimal semitone".

== Terminology and notation ==
<h4>Original HTML content:</h4>
There exists a disagreement in different conceptualization systems on whether 32/17 should be a major seventh or a diminished octave. The major seventh view corresponds to [[Functional Just System]], with the formal comma [[4131/4096]] separating it from [[243/128]], the Pythagorean major seventh. The diminished octave view corresponds to [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]], with the formal comma [[2187/2176]] separating it from [[4096/2187]], the Pythagorean diminished octave.

Measuring about 1095.045¢, it is the &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/mediant"&gt;mediant&lt;/a&gt; between &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/15_8"&gt;15/8&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/17_9"&gt;17/9&lt;/a&gt;, the &amp;quot;large septendecimal major seventh&amp;quot;. Its inversion is &lt;a class="wiki_link" href="/17_16"&gt;17/16&lt;/a&gt;, the &amp;quot;large septendecimal semitone&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
 
&lt;br /&gt;
In practice, the interval category may, arguably, vary by context. One solution for the JI user who uses expanded [[circle-of-fifths notation]] is to prepare a [[Pythagorean comma]] accidental so that the interval can be notated in either category.
