For the sake of fully covering the range of intervals within the octave, this page also covers '''semiaugmented fourths''' of about 550 cents, and '''semidiminished fifths''' of about 650 cents. Note that these are not conventionally considered tritones, and are included here for simplicity (and frankly for having more than one pair of simple ratios to use in the EDO section). More info may be found at [[semiaugmented fourth]] and [[semidiminished fifth]]. | For the sake of fully covering the range of intervals within the octave, this page also covers '''semiaugmented fourths''' of about 550 cents, and '''semidiminished fifths''' of about 650 cents.

As such, this article covers intervals from 560 to 640 cents, but intervals between 540-560 and 640-660 cents have been "grandfathered in" due to the fact that superfourths and subfifths were not originally given their own articles. | |||
