17/16 is one of two [[superparticular]] semitones in the 17-limit; the other is [[18/17]], which measures about 99¢. The difference between them is [[289/288]], about 6¢. If 12edo is treated as a harmonic system approximating 9 and 17, then 289/288 is tempered out. | 17/16 is one of two [[superparticular]] semitones in the 17-limit; the other is [[18/17]], which measures about 99¢.
