=== Semi-augmented tone ===

In addition to all the other tones, 24edo has a semi-augmented tone, which is 250{{c}} in size; this generally has a more metallic sound than the whole tone as well as a moodier character compared to the brightness of the natural whole tone, and some would say that it's a cross between a step and a leap. In context of a major chord, the semi-augmented tone brings a much colder flavor to the major chord than the whole tone which enhances the brightness of the major chord. The semi-augmented from the root clashes heavily with minor chords as the minor third and the semi-augmented are only a quarter tone apart. Diatonic chords tend to move naturally by semi-augmented tone movement such as moving an Am chord to a Gd major chord, and other chords can do the same. The semi-augmented tone is too small to be considered an accurate [[7/6]] and too large to be considered an accurate [[8/7]]; as such, it fits more as being described as a [[15/13]]. Within scale context, the semi-augmented tone can be represented by an uppercase "S". An example of semi-augmented tone is C–D{{demisharp2}}, or enharmonically, C–E{{sesquiflat2}}.

=== Fifths ===

24edo contains five distinct sizes of fifths: the diminished fifth (600{{c}}), paraminor fifth (650{{c}}), [[3/2|perfect fifth]] (700{{c}}), paramajor fifth (750{{c}}), and augmented fifth 800¢. The sound of the paraminor and paramajor fifths are often ~~considerd~~ to be very cool and extremely different from 12et sounds. The paraminor fifth, which is considered to be the most dissonant interval in 24et next to the ultramajor seventh, is a fantastic representation of the 11th [[subharmonic]] ([[16/11]]). The paraminor fifth, sometimes mistakenly called a "[[Wolf interval|wolf fifth]]", can be used to create dynamic texture and voice leading but has a rough character that can be challenging to incorporate into the music well, though of course there is the option using it as the fifth of a ~~lowered~~ triad. The paramajor fifth is a good representation of [[17/11]] and is easily used as the fifth of a ~~raised~~ triad.
