A meantone chromatic semitone consists of one diesis and one kleisma. Note that in most meantone tunings, the diesis and kleisma are roughly a quarter tone. The diesis represents the [[just intonation|just]] intervals [[128/125]] and [[648/625]], while the meantone kleisma represents [[15625/15552]] or [[3125/3072]]. In [[septimal meantone]], where 7/4 is an augmented sixth, the diesis also represents [[36/35]], [[50/49]], and [[64/63]], while the kleisma also represents [[49/48]] and [[245/243]].
