| In this form, the seven intervals are of two sizes, the whole tone and the semitone. |
| The way the notes are arranged on the steelpan ensure that notes a semitone apart are never next to each other. |
| Mahler used modulations, each one raised by semitone, in order to increase the expressive intensity of each strophe. |
| It would be unpardonable not to know how to distinguish or at least to sound a semitone. |
| The first lowers the harmonic series by a whole tone, the second by a semitone, and the third by a tone and a half. |
| Chromatic harmonicas can play any semitone over several octaves, but the diatonic harmonica can only play a given set of notes. |
