A '''semitone''' is one half of a [[tone]]. It is most commonly used as an [[interval size measure|unit of interval size]] with a value equal to [[12edo|1\12]], exactly 100{{cent}}. An exact semitone in [[just intonation]] would be expressed as sqrt([[9/8]]), with a value of about 102{{c}}. | A '''semitone''' is one half of a [[tone]].
