Chromatic scale and new notes between E/F and B/C: The fractions and , and , and , and , and many other pairs are interchangeable, as (syntonic comma) is tempered out. These are 19-EDO just intonation approximations. The ancient Chinese chromatic scale is called "Shí-èr-lǜ". However, "it should not be imagined that this gamut ever functioned as a scale, and it is erroneous to refer to the 'Chinese chromatic scale', as some Western writers have done. The series of twelve notes known as the twelve "lü" were simply a series of fundamental notes from which scales could be constructed." The Indian solfège,
Hungarian minor scale indicates a half step, and + indicates an augmented second (the latter of which is enharmonically equivalent to a minor third but is notionally distinct). The scale contains two augmented seconds, one in each tetrachord. It also contains an augmented fourth (which is enharmonically identical to a tritone) between the first and fourth degree. Intriguingly, this scale (and its modes like the double harmonic scale) is the only seven-note subset of the equally tempered chromatic scale that is "perfectly balanced"; this means that when its pitches are represented as points in a circle (whose full circumference represents an octave), their
