Major second: Difference between revisions

Line 3:

In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a major second if it is reasonably mapped to 1\7 and [[24edo|4\24]] (precisely one step of the diatonic scale and two steps of the chromatic scale). The use of 24edo's 4\24 as the mapping criteria here rather than [[12edo]]'s 2\12 better captures the characteristics of many intervals in the [[11-limit|11-]] and [[13-limit]].

As a concrete [[interval region]], it is typically near 200 ¢ in size, distinct from the [[Semitone (interval region)|semitone]] of roughly 100 ¢ and the [[neutral second]] of roughly ~~350 ¢~~. A rough tuning range for the major second is about 180 to 240 ¢ according to [[Margo Schulter]]'s theory of interval regions.

As a concrete [[interval region]], it is typically near 200 ¢ in size, distinct from the [[Semitone (interval region)|semitone]] of roughly 100 ¢ and the [[neutral second]] of roughly 150 ¢. A rough tuning range for the major second is about 180 to 240 ¢ according to [[Margo Schulter]]'s theory of interval regions.

This article covers intervals between 160 and 260 ¢. The outer range of this might be too extreme to call "major seconds", but this is done so that one can find what they're looking for easily.
