The term ''large septendecimal semitone'' omits the diatonic/chromatic part and only describes its melodic property i.e. the size. It is said in contrast to the small septendecimal semitone of 18/17. | The term ''large septendecimal semitone'' omits the diatonic/chromatic part and only describes its melodic property i.e. the size.

The 17/16 interval generates [[srutal archagall]] with a half-octave period, where it also represents [[16/15]] and [[18/17]]. With a full-octave period it generates [[septendesemi]], the 80 & 103 temperament. It is also a good generator for [[lithium]] with a 1/3-octave period, as well as the less accurate [[august]]. | |||
It is very close to 7 steps of [[80edo]], and is tempered as such in many [[80th-octave temperaments]]. | |||
