The '''diesis''' (/ˈdaɪəsɪs/ ''DY-ə-sis''; plural ''dieses'') most commonly refers to:

* [[128/125]], the ''augmented comma'' or ''lesser diesis'';

* The difference between two enharmonic notes in a scale. See ''[[Diesis (scale theory)]]'';

* [[128/125]] ~~(≈ 41¢)~~, the ''augmented comma'' or ''lesser diesis'';

** rarely, [[648/625]], the ''diminished comma'' or ''greater diesis'';

* A melodic unit of about ~~that~~ size. See ''[[Diesis (~~melodic unit~~)]]''.

* By extension, a melodic unit of about the size of 128/125 (≈ 41¢). See [[Diesis (interval region)]];

* By extension, the difference between two enharmonic notes in a scale. See [[Diesis (scale theory)]].

~~Intervals with the word~~ in the ~~name:~~

In addition, there are a number of archaic usages in [[Ancient Greek music]]:

* [[256/243]], known as the limma today;

* A variety of quartertones.

* [[Magic comma]], or ''small diesis''

* [[Porcupine comma]], or ''~~maximal diesis~~''

The '''normal diesis''' (≈ 38.7¢) is an [[interval size measure]] defined as one step of [[31edo]].
