In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a neutral second if it is reasonably mapped to 1\7 and 3[[24edo|\24]] (precisely one step of the diatonic scale and one and a half steps of the chromatic scale). | In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a neutral second if it is reasonably mapped to 1\7 and 3[[24edo|\24]] (precisely one step of the diatonic scale and one and a half steps of the chromatic scale). | ||

A rough tuning range for the neutral second is 130 to 170 ¢ according to [[Margo Schulter]]'s theory of interval regions. | ||
