Improper interordinals, in contrast, represent intervals that are technically between ordinal categories but occur within the MOS scale unlike proper interordinals which are wholly outside the interval categories defined by the MOS. The diatonic example of this is the tritone, which is interordinal but falls within diatonic interval categories as the [[12edo|basic tuning]] of diatonic tunes both the augmented 3-diastep and the diminished 4-diastep to 600 cents.
