Chromatic
See also chroma.
[from John Chalmers, Divisions of the Tetrachord]
........................... In the Pythagorean
[3-Limit] system, the chromatic
semitone is also called the apotome.
Marchetto
specified three types of semitone and called the third,
naturally enough,
the enharmonic; however, his
names were matched with the intervals differently than
in traditional theory.
