Since the fifth is sharp rather than flat in meantone, the large steps (major seconds) are wider, being around 220{{c}} in size. The small steps (minor seconds) are thus narrower, being around 50{{c}} (a quartertone) wide. This has the effect of large and small steps being more distinct compared to meantone diatonic, as well as stronger leading tones due to narrower small steps, though one may want to bend the leading tone down by a small step to avoid it being too close to the tonic. | ||
