== Neapolitan Augmented Sixth ==

Hey, Xenwolf, I know I gave 225/128 the name "Neapolitan Augmented Sixth" on this wiki on the assumption that there were other people who have also referred to this interval by that same name- even if there's only a handful, as the two [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neapolitan_scale Neapolitan scales] don't seem to be all that well known by musicians at large. However, I can't help but wonder if I inadvertently coined my own name for 225/128, because I don't personally know of any other people besides me who refer to it by the name "Neapolitan Augmented Sixth". All I know for sure is that the Just Semitone has a ratio of 16/15, and that in any Neapolitan scale, there's an area where two semitones occur consecutively, adding up to a diminished third- the octave complement of this is an augmented sixth. So it stands to reason- at least from what I know- that in any 5-limit just Neapolitan scale, there's an area where two 16/15 semitones occur consecutively, adding up to a 256/225 diminished third, and the octave complement of this is a 225/128 augmented sixth... I just want to know for sure that I'm doing this right and not spreading misinformation... --[[User:Aura|Aura]] ([[User talk:Aura|talk]]) 19:35, 16 September 2020 (UTC)
