The range of hard step ratios can be divided into a minihard range (2:1 to 5:2), quasihard range (5:2 to 3:1), parahard range (3:1 to 4:1), and ultrahard range (4:1 to 1:0). Specifically, the minihard range corresponds to Pythagorean tuning and schismatic temperament, quasihard to "neogothic" or "parapyth" systems, and parahard and ultrahard to "archy" systems.
The range of hard step ratios can be divided into a hypohard range (2:1 to 3:1), parahard range (3:1 to 4:1), and ultrahard range (4:1 to 1:0).

{{MOS degrees|Scale Signature=5L 2s|Step Ratio=7/3; 9/4|Genchain Extend=0, 5}}
The flatter end of the hypohard region corresponds to Pythagorean tuning and schismic temperament, with perfect 5ths that are close to 702¢.{{MOS degrees|Scale Signature=5L 2s|Step Ratio=7/3; 9/4|Genchain Extend=0, 5}}
==== Quasihard step ratios ====
The sharper end of the hypohard region corresponds to "neogothic" or "parapyth" systems, with perfect 5ths that are sharper than 702¢.{{MOS degrees|Scale Signature=5L 2s|Step Ratio=3/1; 5/2; 8/3|Genchain Extend=0, 5}}

====Parahard and ultrahard step ratios====
{{MOS degrees|Scale Signature=5L 2s|Step Ratio=3/1; 4/1; 5/1; 6/1|Genchain Extend=0, 5}}
The parahard and ultrahard ranges correspond to archy systems, with perfect 5ths that are significantly sharper than than 702¢.{{MOS degrees|Scale Signature=5L 2s|Step Ratio=3/1; 4/1; 5/1; 6/1|Genchain Extend=0, 5}}
