Second
Glossary
A second can refer to multiple types of intervals: either a minor second or flat second, equal to a semitone; or major second, equal to a whole tone. In scales, the term second may be used, whereas in chords, the intervals would usually be referred to as ninths. See Pitch & Intervals.
