<h4>Original Wikitext content:</h4>
'''15/14''' is a [[superparticular]] ratio with a numerator which is the fifth [[triangular number]]. It 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 ''[[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.

Because it contains exactly one of each prime up to 7, it appears as the interval between many simple [[7-limit]] ratios. In particular, it is the difference between certain [[interval qualities]] of seconds, thirds, sixths, and sevenths: between classical minor and supermajor, and between subminor and classical major. These are the pairs of intervals separated by 15/14:

* [[14/9]] and [[5/3]]
* [[8/5]] and [[12/7]]
* [[7/4]] and [[15/8]]
* [[9/5]] and [[27/14]]
 
In addition, it separates the perfect fourth from the larger septimal tritone, and the perfect fifth from the smaller septimal tritone:
* [[4/3]] and [[10/7]]
* [[7/5]] and [[3/2]]
 
It also arises in higher limits as:
* [[14/13]] and [[15/13]]
* [[14/11]] and [[15/11]]
* [[22/15]] and [[11/7]]
* [[26/15]] and [[13/7]]
 
== Approximation ==
15/14 is very accurately approximated by [[10edo]] (1\10) and all [[linus]] temperaments. The [[linus comma]], 5.6{{c}}, 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]].
