	Dolmetsch Online - Music Theory Online - Intervals
		The interval from C to C sharp is called the augmented unison or the augmented prime - 'unison' because the note names are the same (both Cs), 'augmented' because the interval is one semitone greater than a 'perfect' unison.
		The sequence for perfect intervals (unisons, octaves, fourths and fifths) is double diminished - diminished - perfect - augmented - double augmented as the interval to the key-note is increasingly widened.
		All intervals that are not perfect (the perfect intervals are the unison, fourth, fifth and octave) are called 'major', i.e.

		Of course that means that the 5:7 is also an augmented fourth, but that's ok. Intervals can have more than one name.

	Interval (music)
		Augmented and diminished intervals are raised or lowered a step and any interval may be augmented or diminished and may even be double augmented or diminished.
		Finally, intervals may be labelled with or modified by the addition of perfect, major, minor, augmented, and diminished before the number of notes apart (for instance, augmented fourth).
		However, in twelve tone equal temperament, most intervals, when augmented or diminished, are enharmonically equivalent to another interval.

		The perfect fifth of the German augmented 6th chord is preferred in a major key when going to the I 6-4 because the approach to the 3rd of the tonic appears as an ascending minor second and not an ascending augmented unison.
		the German augmented 6th chord is derived from the raised subdominant, whereas the Swiss augmented 6th chord is derived from the raised supertonic chord.
		Augmented sixth chords function by resolving the dissonance of the augmented sixth outward to the octave

		Note: that the Augmented fourth and the diminished fifth are the same interval but are described differently on the staff.

		The interval of an augmented prime or augmented unison is found between pitches with the same letter name and octave displacement but marked with accidentals which put them a half step apart, the first lower than the second.
		The augmented sixth chord, one of the first non-standard "chromatic" chords that music students encounter, consists of a tritone atop a major third (example: C-E-A#(Bb)).
		Therefore, while the enharmonically equivalent interval (the minor second) is playable, the augmented prime is not.

	Perfect fourth - One Language
		The perfect fourth is considered the most consonant interval after the unison, octave, and perfect fifth.
		The musical interval of a perfect fourth, often P4, is the relationship between the first note (the root or tonic) and the fourth note (subdominant) in a major scale.
		Conventionally, the strings of a double bass and a bass guitar are tuned by intervals of perfect fourths, while all strings but one of a guitar are tuned to intervals of perfect fourths.

		This tuning distinguishes between the diatonic semitone or minor second (3 steps) and the chromatic semitone or augmented unison (2 steps).
		The perfect fourth and fifth are less good than ET12 but still acceptable (2^(18/31) = 1.4955179).
		The coincidence is that the 31 notes map, in a logical manner, onto the 35 note names of the Western notational system.

		This means that we should call Eb-C a major sixth; Eb-Cb a minor sixth; Eb-C# a augmented sixth.
		C: If the interval does not match up with the major or perfect intervals described in A above, but is a contracted by two semitones, then you describe the interval formed as a diminished 2nd, 3rd, 6th or 7th or (in extremely rare cases) a double-diminished unison, 4th, 5th or 8ve.
		D: If the interval does not match up with the major or perfect intervals described in A above, but is a expanded by one semitone, then you describe the interval formed as an augmented 2nd, 3rd, 6th or 7th.

		The augmented sixth (4:7), and other intervals that involve the prime number 7, also became available to Western music for a brief period during the mean-tone era.

	31 note equal temperament
		This tuning distinguishes between the diatonic semitone or minor second (3 steps) and the chromatic semitone or augmented unison (2 steps).
		However, it does not distinguish major tones (9/8 in just intonation) from minor tones (10/9), so ET31 is a mean tone system.

	Numerical sight singing
		For example, an augmented unison("ouey") might be called "one sharp," and in some other pedagogies this same pitch may also simply be called "one."
		Adrawback often pointed out is that numerical numbers are not always "singable," for example, scale degree 7 (ti, in solfege)contains vowels that are hard to tune.

	Intervals
		Unisons, fourths, fifths, and octaves: The perfect intervals, unison, fourth, fifth, and octave, may be augmented and diminished as well, but they are never major or minor.
		The augmented intervals are one half step wider than the perfect, and the diminished are one half step narrower than the perfect.
		If you have an interval larger than an augmented fourth, simply invert it, figure the interval, then invert that.

	Sonic Glossary: Interval
		Diminished and augmented intervals occur less frequently than the other three, and happen usually when the music to which they belong is in a style that we call chromatic.
		The augmented third is slightly larger than the major third, so let us hear major followed by augmented [Example 3d].
		So a perfect fourth can the "squeezed" to a diminished fourth or "stretched" to an augmented fourth; a minor third can be "squeezed" to a diminished third, a major seventh "stretched" to an augmented seventh, and so on.

		If we compare only the Perfect intervals, that is, the columns for the Unison, Fourth, Fifth, and Octave, we see only one type for the Unison and Octave, and two types for both the Fourth and the Fifth.
		Thus the Fourth 512:729 in Lydian is called an Augmented Fourth while the Fourth 3:4 in Dorian is a Perfect Fourth.
		The cyclical structure of the natural interval qualities may be emphasized by arranging the naturals in an arch to show the discontinuity between the extremes of the system; F and B. The Perfect Fourths and Fifths can be arranged cyclically around the central Augmented Fourth and Diminished Fifth.

	Interval (music) [Definition]
		Intervals are often abbreviated with a P for perfect, m for minor, M for major, d for diminished, A for augmented, followed by the diatonic interval number.
		The inversion of a major interval is a minor interval (and vice versa); the inversion of a perfect interval is also perfect; the inversion of an augmented interval is a diminished interval (and vice versa); and the inversion of a double augmented interval is a double diminished interval (and vice versa).
		Unison In music, a unison is an interval, the ratio of 1:1 or 0 halfsteps and zero cents.

		the fifth is often raised (augmented) or lowered (diminished) in major triads and dominant seventh chords.
		The first and fourth are major seventh chords, the second, third and sixth are minor seventh chords, the fifth is a dominant seventh chord while the last, the seventh, is called a minor seventh flat five chord.

	MUS 311 Counterpoint, Study Guide H
		Canons at the unison, 2nd and 3rd may cause the undesirable crossing of voices.
		In canons at intervals other than the octave or unison, it is usually necessary to alter the follower--i.e., avoid accidentals which would make the canon exact--in order to stay within the diatonic scale.
		Canons at diminished and augmented intervals are out of the question due to harmonic complications.

		If we compare only the Perfect intervals, that is, the columns for the Unison, Fourth, Fifth, and Octave, we see only one type for the Unison and Octave, and two types for both the Fourth and the Fifth.
		When an interval normally classified as perfect is larger than the natural perfect version, the quality of the larger interval is called augmented.
		Thus the Fifth 729:1024 in Locrian is called a Diminished Fifth while the Fifth in Dorian 2:3 is called a Perfect Fifth.

		C - C is either a Perfect Unison (generally referred to as just "Unison") or a Perfect Octave if the second note is 12 half steps higher than the first, (generally referred to as an "octave").
		(I suppose unisons and octaves technically are also, however I suspect that those spellings are a rarity).
		Any Major or Perfect interval stretched by 1/2 step is an augmented interval.
