Original Wikitext content:
In [[17-limit]] [[Just Intonation]], 17/16 is the 17th overtone, octave reduced, and may be called the "large septendecimal semitone". Measuring about 105¢, it is close to the [[12edo]] semitone of 100¢, and thus 12edo can be said to approximate it closely. In a chord, it can function similarly to a jazz "minor ninth" -- for instance, 8:10:12:14:17 (although here the interval is 17/8, which is a little less harsh sounding than 17/16). In 17-limit JI, it is treated as the next basic consonance after 13 and 15. 17/16 is one of two [[superparticular]] semitones in the 17-limit; the other is [[18_17|18/17]], which measures about 99¢. The difference between them is 289/288, about 6¢. If 12edo is treated as a harmonic system approximating 9 and 17, then 289/288 is tempered out. See: [[Gallery of Just Intervals]]
