The [[superparticular]] interval '''28/27''' (also '''septimal chroma''' or '''septimal third-tone''') has the seventh triangular number as a numerator and is the difference between [[15/14]] and [[10/9]], [[9/8]] and [[7/6]], [[9/7]] and [[4/3]], [[3/2]] and [[14/9]], [[12/7]] and [[16/9]], and [[9/5]] and [[28/15]].
In [[7-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''28/27''', measuring about 63.0 [[cent]]s, is conventionally known as the '''septimal third-tone'''. It arises as the difference between [[15/14]] and [[10/9]], between [[9/8]] and [[7/6]], between [[9/7]] and [[4/3]], between [[3/2]] and [[14/9]], between [[12/7]] and [[16/9]], and between [[9/5]] and [[28/15]]. Since it is flat of the [[Pythagorean limma]] by a [[64/63|septimal comma (64/63)]], it may be called the '''septimal (sub)minor second''' if treated as an interval in its own right, analogous to the septimal major second [[8/7]], which has the same relationship with [[9/8]], and such classification suggests the function of a strong leading tone added to the traditional harmony.  


If treated as an interval in its own right, it may be described as the septimal subminor second, since it differs from the Pythagorean minor second [[256/243]] by [[64/63]], and from [[16/15]] by [[36/35]]. This is analogous to the septimal major second [[8/7]], which has the same relationship with [[9/8]] and [[10/9]], respectively. Such classification suggests the function of a strong leading tone added to the traditional harmony.

In 7-limit just intonation, 28/27, measuring about 63.0 cents, is conventionally known as the septimal third-tone. It arises as the difference between 15/14 and 10/9, between 9/8 and 7/6, between 9/7 and 4/3, between 3/2 and 14/9, between 12/7 and 16/9, and between 9/5 and 28/15. Since it is flat of the Pythagorean limma by a septimal comma (64/63), it may be called the septimal (sub)minor second if treated as an interval in its own right, analogous to the septimal major second 8/7, which has the same relationship with 9/8, and such classification suggests the function of a strong leading tone added to the traditional harmony.

Finally, since it is a superparticular ratio which has the seventh triangular number as a numerator, it a triangle-particular ratio with factorization (49/48)⋅(64/63).

Approximation

This interval is very accurately approximated by 19edo (1\19), and hence the enneadecal temperament.

Temperaments

If treated as a comma to be tempered out, 28/27 may be called the trienstonic comma, which leads to the trienstonic temperament.

See Trienstonic clan for the rank-2 clan of temperaments where it is tempered out.

Notation

Sagittal notation

In the Sagittal system, this comma (possibly tempered) is represented (in a secondary role) by the sagittal and is called the 7 large diesis, or 7L for short, because the simplest interval it notates is 7/1 (equivalently, 7/4), as for example in C–A⁠ ⁠. The primary role of is 8505/8192 (35L). The downward version is called 1/7L or 7L down and is represented (in a secondary role) by .
