Although called "septimal diatonic semitone" for its proximity (and conflation in systems such as septimal [[meantone]]) with the classic diatonic semitone [[16/15]], 15/14 is a [[Wikipedia:chromatic semitone|chromatic semitone]] in both [[Helmholtz-Ellis notation]] and [[Functional Just System]] because it is [[5120/5103]] larger than the apotome [[2187/2048]].  
== Terminology ==
15/14 is traditionally called a ''diatonic semitone'', perhaps for its proximity (and conflation in systems such as septimal [[meantone]] and [[marvel]]) with the classic diatonic semitone [[16/15]]. However, 15/14 is a ''[[Wikipedia:chromatic semitone|chromatic semitone]]'' in both [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]] and the [[Functional Just System]], viewed as the apotome [[2187/2048]] altered by [[5120/5103]]. [[Marc Sabat]] has taken to call it the ''major chromatic semitone'' in the same material where [[21/20]] is also named as the minor diatonic semitone<ref>Marc Sabat. [https://masa.plainsound.org/pdfs/crystal-growth.pdf ''Three Crystal Growth Algorithms in 23-limit constrained Harmonic Space'']. Plainsound Music Edition, 2008.</ref>.
 
== Approximation ==
15/14 is very accurately approximated by [[10edo]] (1\10) and all [[linus]] temperaments. The [[linus comma]], 5.6¢, is the amount by which a stack of ten 15/14's falls short of the octave.
 
In combination with [[19/17]] it forms a good approximation of [[golden meantone]]. The untempered combination of five 19/17's and two 15/14's leads to an interval that is sharp to an octave by the [[mercurial comma]]: (19/17)<sup>5</sup> × (15/14)<sup>2</sup> = 2 / (mercurial comma).
 
== Temperaments ==
The following [[linear temperament]]s are [[generate]]d by a [[~]]15/14:
* [[Septidiasemi]]
* [[Subsedia]]
 
In addition, this [[fractional-octave temperament]] is generated by a ~15/14:
* [[Tertiosec]] (1\3)
 
Several [[10th-octave temperaments]] treat ~15/14 as the period, including [[decoid]] and [[linus]].
