'''81/70''', the '''septimal semiaugmented second''' or '''septimal ultramajor second''' is a [[7-limit]] [[interseptimal]] ratio of about 253 cents. It is sharp of a subminor third [[7/6]] by a sensamagic comma [[245/243]], and sharp of a major second [[16/9]] by a septimal quartertone [[36/35]]. | '''81/70''', the '''septimal semiaugmented second''' or '''septimal ultramajor second''' is a [[7-limit]] [[interseptimal]] ratio of about 253 cents.

For this fact it is useful in the [[Canovian chord]] and provides the function of a voice leading up to the minor third. The [[Canou family|canou temperament]] targets this progression and uses it as one of the generators. | ||

There are a number of edos that do this equally well, [[171edo]] to name one. The first edo that does this better than 19edo with patent val is [[660edo]]. | ||
