As a concrete [[interval region]], it is typically near 600 [[Cent|cents]] in size. A rough tuning range for the tritone is about 560 to 640 cents according to [[Margo Schulter]]'s theory of interval regions. ''Tritone'' in this sense can also refer to the semi-octave, a tritone of exactly 600 cents found in every even [[edo]], due to the fact that it is [[2edo|1\2edo]].

For the sake of fully covering the range of intervals within the octave, this page also covers '''semiaugmented fourths''' of about 550 cents, and '''semidiminished fifths''' of about 650 cents. Note that these are not conventionally considered tritones, and are included here for simplicity. More info may be found at [[semiaugmented fourth]] and [[semidiminished fifth]].

Note that these are not conventionally considered tritones, and are included here for simplicity (and frankly for having more than one pair of simple tritone ratios to use in the EDO section).
