The specific range varies considerably among musicians, but is generally agreed to be roughly 30–60 cents. In [[Sagittal notation]], a diesis is specifically defined as between half of the [[17-comma]] {{monzo| 27 -17 }} and half of the [[19-comma]] {{monzo| -30 19 }}, about 33.4{{c}} to 68.6{{c}}<ref>[https://sagittal.org/sagittal.pdf ''Sagittal – A Microtonal Notation System''] by [[George Secor|George D.
