| Interval information |
[sound info]
In 17-limit just intonation, 17/12 is the larger septendecimal tritone, measuring very nearly 603¢. Its inversion is the smaller septendecimal tritone, 24/17, and the interval that separates them is the small comma 289/288, about 6¢. This difference is usually negligible, and tempering out this comma allows the 600¢ half-octave to function as both septendecimal tritones. Thus, every even-numbered EDO system contains a close approximation to these intervals.
17/12 is the mediant between the two septimal tritones 7/5 and 10/7.
