==Enharmonic genus== {{Main|Genus (music)#Enharmonic}} In [[ancient Greek music]] the enharmonic was one of the three Greek [[genus (music)|genera]] in music in which the [[tetrachord]]s are divided (descending) as a [[major third|ditone]] plus two [[microtone]]s. The ditone can be anywhere from {{sfrac|16|13}} to {{sfrac|9|7}} (3.55 to 4.35 [[semitone]]s) and the microtones can be anything smaller than 1 semitone.<ref>{{cite journal|first=C.
