21/20 is traditionally called a ''chroma'', perhaps for its proximity (and conflation in systems like septimal [[meantone]]) with the major chroma [[135/128]]. However, it is a ''diatonic semitone'' in both [[Helmholtz–Ellis notation]] and [[Functional Just System]], viewed as the Pythagorean minor second [[256/243]] altered by [[5120/5103]]. [[Marc Sabat]] has taken to call it the ''minor diatonic semitone'' in the same material where [[15/14]] is also named as the major chromatic semitone<ref>Marc Sabat.
