In 17-limit just intonation, 18/17 is the small septendecimal semitone of about 99¢. It is very close to 12edo's "half step" of 100¢, and fairly close to the "large septendecimal semitone" of 17/16 (~105¢).

There exists a disagreement in different notation systems on whether 18/17 should be notated as a diatonic semitone or a chromatic semitone. In Functional Just System, it is a chromatic semitone, whereas in Helmholtz-Ellis notation, it is a diatonic semitone.
