A '''superfourth, ultrafourth''' or '''semi-augmented fourth''' is an [[interval]] that spans three steps of the [[5L 2s|diatonic]] scale with a quality between augmented and perfect. It exists in [[neutralization|neutralized]] diatonic scales as exactly one half of a [[major seventh]]. | A '''superfourth''', '''ultrafourth''' or '''semi-augmented fourth''' is an [[interval]] that spans three steps of the [[5L 2s|diatonic]] scale with a quality between augmented and perfect.

In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a superfourth if it is reasonably mapped to [[7edo|3\7]] and [[24edo|11\24]] (precisely three steps of the diatonic scale and five and a half steps of the chromatic scale). | In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a superfourth if it is reasonably mapped to [[7edo|3\7]] and [[24edo|11\24]] (precisely three steps of the diatonic scale and five and a half steps of the chromatic scale). | ||
