-The '''Tone''' as an interval measure was already known in Ancient Greece. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aristoxenus Aristoxenus (fl. 335 BC)] defined the tone as the difference between the [[3/2|just fifth (3/2)]] and the [[4/3|just fourth (4/3)]]. From this base size, he derived the size of other intervals as multiples or fractions of the tone, so for instance the just fourth was 2<span style="font-size: 70%; vertical-align: super;">1</span>/<span style="font-size: 70%; vertical-align: sub;">2</span> tones in size.

+'''Tone''' may refer to:
+* [[9/8]], the whole tone
+* An [[interval size unit]] exactly or approximately equal to 9/8 (~203.91{{cent}}) or to [[6edo|1\6]] (200{{cent}})
+* A sustained sound (see Wikipedia box)
+* A [[pitch]], possibly taken from a [[chord]], a [[scale]] or a [[tuning system]]
-From a technical perspective, the tone as an interval with frequency ratio [[9/8]] and a size of ca. 204 [[cent]]s is exactly the same as the major diatonic second.
