113. | The '''apotome''', also known as the '''Pythagorean chromatic semitone''' or the '''Pythagorean major semitone''', is the interval 3<sup>7</sup>/2<sup>11</sup> = 2187/2048 which is the chromatic semitone in the [[Pythagorean tuning|Pythagorean]] ([[3-limit]]) version of the diatonic scale. Unlike the situation in [[meantone]] tunings, it is larger, not smaller, than the corresponding diatonic semitone, which is the Pythagorean minor second of [[256/243]]. It measures about 113.7¢ and can be generated by stacking seven [[3/2]] perfect fifths and octave-reducing the resulting interval. | ||
