| has gloss | eng: In music, the interval of an augmented seventh is an interval of a major seventh augmented by a chromatic semitone. It is therefore the difference between the diatonic and chromatic semitones, which makes it a highly variable quantity between one meantone tuning and the next. In standard equal temperament, in fact, it is identical to the perfect octave , because both semitones have the same size. In 19 equal temperament, on the other hand, the interval is 63 cents short of an octave, ie 1137 cents. More typical meantone tunings fall between these extremes, giving it an intermediate size. |
