~~In scale theory, the~~ '''diatonic semitone''', ~~the~~ '''minor second''' or ~~the~~ '''limma''' is the small step of ~~the~~ [[diatonic]] scale.

A '''diatonic semitone''', '''minor second''' or '''limma''' is the small step of a [[diatonic]] scale.

In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a diatonic semitone if it is reasonably mapped to [[7edo|1\7]] and [[24edo|2\24]] (precisely one step of the diatonic scale and one step of the chromatic scale). Do note that 24edo's 2\24 is used as the mapping criteria here rather than [[12edo]]'s 1\12 since 12edo tempers out certain intervals that otherwise qualify as diatonic semitones.

== Examples ==

* [[256/243]], the Pythagorean diatonic semitone (3-limit)

* [[16/15]], the classic diatonic semitone (5-limit)

* [[128/121]], the Axirabian diatonic semitone (11-limit; specifically belonging to the 2.3.11 subgroup)

* [[Chromatic semitone]]

* [[16/15|16/15, the classic diatonic semitone]] (5-limit)
