Sixths is the plural of sixth, referring to multiple instances of one part when something is divided into six equal portions.
In music, sixths are intervals spanning six scale degrees, commonly used in harmonies and chord progressions.
The word also appears in fractions: Two sixths equals one third.
When measuring or portioning, sixths offer a middle ground between the coarser fourths and finer eighths.
