A '''neutral third''' ('''n3'''), as a concrete [[interval region]], is typically near 350 [[cents]] in size, distinct from the [[minor third]] of roughly 300 [[cent]]s and the [[major third]] of roughly 400{{c}}. A rough tuning range for the neutral third is 330 to 370{{c}} according to [[Margo Schulter]]'s theory of interval regions. | A '''neutral third''' ('''n3'''), as a concrete [[interval region]], is typically near 350 [[cents]] in size, distinct from the [[minor third]] of roughly 300 [[cent]]s and the [[major third]] of roughly 400{{c}}.

In a diatonic functional context, neutral thirds appear as part of the [[10L 4s|variant of diatonic with generators halved]], where the neutral third is the generator and the 600-cent [[tritone]] is the period. | In a diatonic functional context, neutral thirds appear as part of the [[10L 4s|variant of diatonic with generators halved]], where the neutral third is the generator and the 600-cent [[tritone]] is the period. | ||
