'''12/7'''
In [[7-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''12/7''' is the '''septimal (super)major sixth''' of about 933.1¢. It represents the interval between the 12th and 7th harmonics and appears in chords such as 4:5:7:9:12. It differs from the 5-limit major sixth of [[5/3]] by [[36/35]] – the septimal quartertone – a [[superparticular]] interval of about 48.8¢. It differs from the Pythagorean major sixth of [[27/16]] by [[64/63]] – Archytas' comma – about 27.3¢. And finally, it differs from the harmonic seventh of [[7/4]] by [[49/48]] – the large septimal diesis or slendro diesis – about 35.7¢. 12/7 is the inversion of the septimal subminor third of [[7/6]].

In 7-limit just intonation, 12/7 is the septimal (super)major sixth of about 933.1¢. It represents the interval between the 12th and 7th harmonics and appears in chords such as 4:5:7:9:12. It differs from the 5-limit major sixth of 5/3 by 36/35 – the septimal quartertone – a superparticular interval of about 48.8¢. It differs from the Pythagorean major sixth of 27/16 by 64/63 – Archytas' comma – about 27.3¢. And finally, it differs from the harmonic seventh of 7/4 by 49/48 – the large septimal diesis or slendro diesis – about 35.7¢. 12/7 is the inversion of the septimal subminor third of 7/6.
