what is the interval between C and D called? that's right. it's called “2 semitones”. there are no other names for this interval. glad we all agree
also willing to accept “major second” if you have a good contextual excuse
type of guy who tells you midi note numbers are denominated in minor seconds
@hikari phew, I was worried you were being an equal temperament absolutist there.
@h0m54r i love equal temperament but i'm very much not! i'm not used to just intonation but i do think “alternative” tunings are cool, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqN16ZgZlNQ check this out
@hikari what about "a full step," (vs. a half step)?
@archlentil no
@hikari diminshed third (enharmonic)
@alexing ooh so there's a term for when a minor third gets even more minor, that's neat
@hikari can't you also call it "1 tone"?
@Qyriad that's specifically what i don't like, calling it a tone is very ambiguous
