noun
printingmusic
A reference mark used in printing, known as the double dagger, or a very small musical interval smaller than a semitone.

In music theory, the same word names a tiny interval, smaller than any interval used in ordinary practice, discussed mainly in connection with ancient Greek tuning systems.
