A '''diatonic semitone''', '''minor second''' or '''limma''' is the small step of a [[diatonic]] scale. | A '''diatonic semitone''', '''minor second''', or '''limma''' is the small step of a [[diatonic]] scale. | ||
In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a diatonic semitone if it is reasonably mapped to [[7edo|1\7]] and [[24edo|2\24]] (precisely one step of the diatonic scale and one step of the chromatic scale). The use of 24edo's 2\24 as the mapping criteria here rather than [[12edo]]'s 1\12 better captures the characteristics of many intervals in the [[11-limit|11-]] and [[13-limit]]. | In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a diatonic semitone if it is reasonably mapped to [[7edo|1\7]] and [[24edo|2\24]] (precisely one step of the diatonic scale and one step of the chromatic scale).

The number of steps a limma is mapped to in an EDO is referred to as its [[limmanosity]], or penta-sharpness. | The number of steps a limma is mapped to in an EDO is referred to as its [[limmanosity]], or penta-sharpness. | ||
