A '''hemipyth''' (or '''"hemipythagorean"''') interval is an [[interval]] in the <math>\sqrt{2}\,.\sqrt{3}</math> [[subgroup]] i.e. intervals that can be constructed by multiplying half-integer powers of 2 and 3.


Notable hemipyth intervals include the neutral third √(3/2) = √3/√2, semioctave √2 and the semifourth √(4/3) = (√2)²/√3.
Notable hemipyth intervals include the neutral third <math>\sqrt{\frac{3}{2}} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{2}}</math>, semioctave <math>\sqrt{2}</math>, and the semifourth <math>\sqrt{\frac{4}{3}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}</math>.


Many temperaments naturally produce intervals that split ~3/2, ~2 or ~4/3 exactly in half and can thus be interpreted as neutral thirds, semioctaves or semifourths within the temperament.

Note how in hemipyth the patent val of 24edo is not tuned the same as 12edo's patent val. In fact 24edo is arguably the smallest edo where all of the important hemipyth intervals are tuned reasonably accurately.

Other hemipyth patent vals are 28, 30, 34, 38, 44, 48, 52, 54, 58, etc. 58edo is the first one to reduce the absolute error of the neutral third generator compared to 24edo. You need to go all the way to 82edo in order to get an improvement in terms of relative error.

In traditional notation the octave spans 7 diasteps which means that it splits into two interordinal diasteps or two perfect 4.5ths if we wish to remain backwards compatible with the 1-indexed traditional notation.
In traditional notation the octave spans 7 diasteps which means that it splits into two interordinal {{sfrac|3|1|2}} diasteps or two perfect 4.5ths ("four-and-a-halves") if we wish to remain backwards compatible with the 1-indexed traditional notation.


Intervals retain their quality when the frequency ratio is multiplied by the perfect semioctave √2 e.g. M6 - P4.5 = M2.5 = (9/8)^(3/2).

Relative interordinal intervals are either called by their double i.e. M2.5 is a major semifourth due to being exactly the half of an augmented fourth (Aug4), or by simply adding the suffix "-and-a-halfth" i.e. "major second-and-a-halfth". The semisecond gets the special nickname "sesquith".

The nominals for absolute pitches are denoted using lowercase Greek nominals (uppercase often looks identical to pre-existing Latin nominals). The logic being that Latin and Greek notes differ by a multiple of √2 when paired up alphabetically. The direction is determined by octaves starting from the middle C.

Where to put the greek notes on a staff is still being decided. Probably on the same lines as traditional notes but with distinct noteheads. E.g. a middle η would look like a middle C, but with an upwards pointing triangular notehead.
