What interval qualities will label is distances from these "central intervals". For the most complex case (intervals with major and minor quality), follow the following procedure.
What interval qualities will label is distances from these "central intervals". For the most complex case (intervals with major and minor quality), follow the following procedure.


* Find a) the smallest interval greater than 25c above the neutral interval or b) the closest interval to 35c above the neutral interval, whichever is higher. Take the interval BEFORE this and label it "submajor" (if its offset is still positive).  
* Find a) the smallest interval greater than 25c above the neutral interval. Take the interval BEFORE this and label it "submajor" (if its offset is still positive).
* Find a) the closest interval to 85c above the neutral interval or b) the smallest interval greater than 75c above the neutral interval, whichever is higher. Label this interval "supermajor".  
* Find a) the closest interval to 85c above the neutral interval or b) the smallest interval greater than 75c above the neutral interval, whichever is higher. Label this interval "supermajor".  
** If supermajor and submajor coincide, label the interval "major" and then label the next interval up "supermajor".
** If supermajor and submajor coincide, label the interval "major" and then label the next interval up "supermajor".
