| This B♯, however, instead of being exactly in tune with C, is slightly higher, by 0.24 of a semitone. |
| Mahler used modulations, each one raised by semitone, in order to increase the expressive intensity of each strophe. |
| The missing 4 samples per stop are created by retuning their lower neighbours one semitone up. |
| All three were normally diatonic only, though players could raise the pitch by a semitone by stopping a string near the neck. |
| If the given key is not so advantageous to the singer we may end up playing the work a semitone lower, which makes a great improvement. |
| Chromatic harmonicas can play any semitone over several octaves, but the diatonic harmonica can only play a given set of notes. |
