Septimal sixth-tone

Septimal sixth-tone

In music, septimal sixth-tone (or jubilisma) is an interval with the ratio of 50:49 (Audio|Septimal sixth-tone on C.mid|play), about 34.98 cents, which in just intonation is the difference between the lesser septimal (7:5) tritone, and its inversion, the greater septimal tritone (10:7).

In equal temperament

The widely used 12 equal temperament tempers out this interval, failing to distinguish between the two different tritones. 22-ET also tempers out this interval. 19-ET, 31-ET, 41-ET, and 53-ET do not temper out this interval, and thus treat the two tritones as distinct musical intervals.
