I'm not sure what you're saying. B to F is not a fifth. A fifth up from B is F#.

  B to F is a fifth; that interval is called a diminished fifth (one semitone less than a perfect fifth like B to F#).

    Yes, this is true, but it's not how the circle of fifths works (which is what the comment I was responding to seemed to be alluding to).

    He's right though, that's not what I was trying to write (not a 3:2 ratio).

  Huh, I copypasted that from wikipedia but botched the text when trying to highlight the part where sharps start and left it half-written. I'll just link the relevant wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_tuning https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythagorean_tuning
