{{ | Another way to generalize interval qualities from traditional theory is to define [[interval region]]s corresponding to the 12 tones of the chromatic scale. That way, similar intervals, such as [[13/11]] (~289{{cent}}), 3\12 (300{{cent}}), [[6/5]] (~316{{cent}}), and 3\[[11edo|11]] (~327{{cent}}), can all be considered different flavours of minor thirds. These regions can further be subdivided into finer categories; for instance, smaller minor thirds could be qualified as "narrow minor thirds", "subminor thirds", etc. | ||
Interval regions can also be defined using a different framework than the diatonic scale. However, the diatonic scale is often preferred because it offers a familiar point of reference for many musicians. | |||
