Being an abstract mos degree, and not a specific interval, the diatonic major second does not have a fixed tuning, but instead has a range of ways it can be tuned, based on the tuning of the generator used in making the scale. | Being an abstract mos degree, and not a specific interval, the diatonic major second does not have a fixed tuning, but instead has a range of ways it can be tuned, based on the tuning of the generator used in making the scale. | ||
The tuning range of the diatonic major second ranges from 171.4 to 240{{c}}. The generator for a given tuning in cents, ''n'', for the diatonic major second can be found by {{nowrap| (''n'' + 1200)/2. For example, the second 192{{c}} gives us {{nowrap| (192 + 1200)/2 {{=}} 1392/2 {{=}} 696{{c}} }}, corresponding to 50edo. | The tuning range of the diatonic major second ranges from 171.4 to 240{{c}}.
