'''22/21''' is a small [[superparticular]] [[semitone (interval region)|semitone]] of about 80.5¢ that appears in [[11-limit]] [[just intonation]], commonly known as the '''small undecimal semitone''', or '''undecimal minor semitone'''. It is the difference between [[12/11]] and [[8/7]], or between [[7/6]] and [[11/9]].


'''22/21''' is a small [[superparticular]] '''semitone''' of about 80.5¢ that appears in [[11-limit]] [[Just Intonation]]. It makes the difference between the 21st and 22nd overtone. It is close in size to [[21/20]], a 7-limit [[superparticular]] interval, differing from it by [[441/440]], about 3..
In many notation systems (e.g. [[FJS]], [[HEJI]]), it is an imperfect unison, as it is the stack of an [[33/32|undecimal quartertone (33/32)]] and a [[64/63|septimal comma (64/63)]], neither of which changes the [[scale|scale degree]] or [[interval quality|quality]]. However, it is only flat of the [[256/243|Pythagorean minor second (256/243)]] by a [[896/891|pentacircle comma (896/891)]]. For this reason it could be called the '''pentacircle minor second'''.  


The single degree of [[88cET]] can function as both 21/20 and 22/21, thus tempering out 441/440.  
Furthermore, it is close in size to [[21/20]], a 7-limit superparticular interval most commonly treated as a minor second, differing from it by [[441/440]], about 3.9¢. The single degree of [[88cET]] can function as both 21/20 and 22/21, thus [[tempering out]] 441/440.


10 steps of [[149edo]] appoximate 22/21 with a precision of about 1 part in 15 million, or 1 part in 100000 when measured using [[relative cent|relative cents]].
