Type: Utonal
In [[7-limit]] [[just intonation]], '''10/7''' is a '''high [[tritone]]''' (or '''Euler's tritone''') measuring about 617.5¢. It has a similar sound to its inversion, [[7/5]], but may sound a little edgier, less relaxed. Nonetheless, it is considered a septimal consonance. It appears in chords where a major third ([[5/4]]) appears above the harmonic seventh ([[7/4]]), such as 4:6:7:10 – This particular chord is well-approximated in [[88cET]], which has a good approximation of 10/7, but no 7/5. It's well approximated by the Pythagorean augmented fourth [[729/512]], differing by [[5120/5103]].


In [[7-limit]] [[Just Intonation]], 10/7 is a high tritone measuring about 617.5¢. It has a similar sound to its inversion, [[7/5]], but may sound a little edgier, less relaxed. Nonetheless, it is considered a septimal consonance. It appears in chords where a major third ([[5/4]]) appears above the harmonic seventh ([[7/4]]), such as 4:6:7:10. (This particular chord is well-approximated in [[88cET]], which has a good approximation of 10/7 -- but no 7/5.)
While in the context of the [[harmonic seventh chord]], it is rightly recognized as a type of augmented fourth, it can also be argued on the basis of the fact that 10/7 interval is larger than 600 cents that it acts more as a type of diminished fifth than an augmented fourth – an analysis that is required in cases where this interval occurs in a [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]] that demonstrates [[Rothenberg propriety]].
