Original Wikitext content:
In [[Just Intonation]], 8/7 is the "septimal supermajor second" of approximately 231.2¢. Although it falls between the familiar major second and minor third of [[12edo]], it generally sounds more like a wide second than a narrow third. It can be found between the 7th and 8th overtones in the harmonic series and is thus a [[superparticular]] ratio. In [[7-limit]] JI and higher, it is treated as a consonance, particularly in the context of a chord such as 4:5:6:7:8, where it appears between the harmonic seventh ([[7_4|7/4]]) and octave. It differs from the Pythagorean major third of [[9_8|9/8]] by [[64_63|64/63]], a microtone of about 27.3¢. See the Wikipedia article for [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Septimal_whole_tone|Septimal whole tone]]. See also: [[Gallery of Just Intervals]]
