* Two intervals or notes an [[enharmonic diesis]] apart, such as the augmented fourth and the diminished fifth, or C♯ and D♭. In [[12edo]], such intervals or notes are tuned to the same size or pitch, so they are '''enharmonically equivalent'''. In any tuning whose [[perfect fifth]] is not the same as 12edo's, enharmonic intervals or notes are distinct. | * Two intervals or notes an [[enharmonic diesis]] apart, such as the augmented fourth and the diminished fifth, or C♯ and D♭.

This is technically a misnomer that arose from the ubiquity of 12edo. The clearer term is ''equivalent'' or ''equated''. For example, in [[5edo]], E and F are equivalent/equated since they are both mapped to 480 cents above C. | ||
