'''11/10''', the '''large undecimal neutral second''' or '''undecimal submajor second''', is an interval favored by Ptolemy. | '''11/10''', the '''large undecimal neutral second''' or '''undecimal submajor second''', is an interval favored by {{w|Ptolemy}}. Depending on who you ask, this interval, on its own, is either considerably more or considerably less exotic than [[12/11]] or a number of other simple [[11-limit]] intervals. If tempered sharp one could make the argument that it functions a bit more like a narrowed [[10/9]] in light of its usage in such a capacity in systems like [[41edo]] and [[63edo]] where 11/10 and 10/9 are tempered together (so that [[100/99]] is tempered out). Meanwhile, when tuned just or near-just, it functions as almost exactly a third of [[4/3]], a very xenmelodic role corresponding to tempering out [[4000/3993]]. | ||

11/10 may be treated implicitly as a comma in JI scales that (for example) do not find [[11/8]] and [[5/4]] above the same degree, but usually it makes much more sense to use it as a generator, such as the aforementioned very accurate strategy of making it a third of [[4/3]], leading to scales that look like [[porcupine]] but whose harmonies can more accurately be explained in a number of ways depending partially on the exact tempering used. If you use a half-octave period you get [[echidna]], a [[hedgehog]] lookalike that detempers [[100/99]] and [[121/120]] and which efficiently and accurately finds [[11-limit]] and (no-13's) [[17-limit]] harmonies. | 11/10 is treated as a comma in edos 1, 2, 3, 5, and some very low accuracy temperaments such as [[Very low accuracy temperaments #Antietam|antietam]]. | ||
