'''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]].

It is also sharp of a minor third [[6/5]] by a subminor second [[28/27]]. For this fact it is useful in the [[Canovian chord]] and provides the function of a voice leading up to the minor third.  
It is also flat of a minor third [[6/5]] by a subminor second [[28/27]]. 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.  


The interval is so perfectly approximated by [[19edo|19-edo]], with an error of 0.05 cents. There are a number of edos that do this equally well, [[171edo|171-edo]] to name one. The first edo that does this better than 19-edo with patent val is [[660edo|660-edo]].
