In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a neutral second if it is reasonably mapped to 1\7 and 3[[24edo|\24]] (precisely one step of the diatonic scale and one and a half steps of the chromatic scale). | In [[just intonation]], an interval may be classified as a neutral second if it is reasonably mapped to 1\7 and 3[[24edo|\24]] (precisely one step of the diatonic scale and one and a half steps of the chromatic scale). | ||
As a concrete [[interval region]], it is typically near 150{{cent}} in size, distinct from the [[Semitone (interval region)|semitone]] of roughly 100{{c}} and the [[major second]] of roughly 200{{c}}. A rough tuning range for the neutral second is 130 to 170{{c}} according to [[Margo Schulter]]'s theory of interval regions. | As a concrete [[interval region]], it is typically near 150{{cent}} in size, distinct from the [[Semitone (interval region)|semitone]] of roughly 100{{c}} and the [[major second]] of roughly 200{{c}}.
