* Maj6–min7 – intermediate between [[12/7]] and [[7/4]] – 940¢–960¢
* Maj6–min7 – intermediate between [[12/7]] and [[7/4]] – 940¢–960¢


Interseptimal intervals are well-represented in [[24edo]] at 250¢, 450¢, 750¢ and 950¢. They also appear in [[19edo]] and [[29edo]]. As they fall in ambiguous zones between simpler categories, they are inevitably xenharmonic.

A JI-agnostic synonym is '''interordinal'''; here, ''ordinal'' refers to the [[interval class]]es of the diatonic scale the interordinal intervals lie between, conventionally denoted with ordinal numbers.

While interseptimals are interesting for falling right in between the typical western interval categories, this also makes them difficult to name and notate: do we classify a 250-cent interval as a second, a third, both, or neither?
