The '''tritavesque intervals'''{{idiosyncratic}} are all those intervals a/b, where b is the largest possible integer that is less than half of a, and shares no common factirs with a.

As tritavesque intervals get more complex, they usually but not always get closer to [[2/1]].

Many of these intervals see use as [[equave]]s for [[edonoi]] and other [[nonoctave]] scales.  
Many of these intervals see use as [[period]]s for [[edonoi]] and other [[nonoctave]] scales. They also see use as ninths of scales in edonoi, especially [[EDT]]s.


The more complex
The more complex of these intervals can also be used as [[pseudo-octave]]s.

The numerators are the integers starting from 3 (3, 4, 5, 6, 7...). The denominators are [https://oeis.org/A116921 OEIS sequence A116921] — ''a(n) = largest integer <= n/2 which is coprime to n'' — but skipping the first entry (0).
