There are two types of semitones. They are chromatic and diatonic semitones. When a semitone contains two notes with the same letter name, it is chromatic. For examples, C to C# and D to D sharp are chromatic.When the two notes have different letter names, example, C to D flat and D to E flat, the semitone is diatonic. major scale is formed with the formula W-W-H-W-W-W-H. This stands for whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step half step. As weâve seen, the half steps are the semitones and the whole steps are the whole tones. There are 2 semitones and 5 whole steps.
