'''Neogothic major''' intervals are between regular major intervals and supermajor intervals, and likewise, '''neogothic minor''' intervals are between regular minor intervals and subminor intervals. For example, neogothic thirds may be found between roughly 272 and 292 cents, and between 410 and 430 cents. Common neogothic intervals can be found by taking the mediant of a major and supermajor, or minor and subminor, interval, and include:

Optionally, the category of neogothic may be split into two smaller categories. Tuning ranges have been provided in terms of thirds:
Optionally, the category of neogothic may be split into two smaller categories. Tuning ranges have been provided in terms of thirds:


* '''Neomajor''' and '''neominor,''' for thirds, range between about 410-420 and 282-292 cents, respectively. These can be considered "true" neogothic intervals, as the thirds are generated by fifths in the [[gentle region]], a core aspect of neogothic harmony. Neomajor seconds range from about 205-215 cents. For a given [[neutral]] interval ''k'' in cents, the neomajor version is found at around k+65, and the neominor version is found at around k-65.
* '''Neomajor''' and '''neominor,''' for thirds, range between about 411-421 and 281-291 cents, respectively. These can be considered "true" neogothic intervals, as the thirds are generated by fifths in the [[gentle region]], a core aspect of neogothic harmony. Neomajor seconds range from about 205-215 cents. For a given [[neutral]] interval ''k'' in cents, the neomajor version is found at around k+65, and the neominor version is found at around k-65.
* '''Gothmajor''' (or "'''shrubmajor'''") and '''gothminor''', for thirds, range between about 420-430 and 272-282 cents respectively, and can be considered flat supermajor or sharp subminor intervals, think [[17edo]]. The thirds are generated by fifths in the inverse-gentle or shrub region (between about 706 to 708 cents). Gothmajor seconds are roughly 215-225 cents. For a given [[neutral]] interval ''k'' in cents, the goth/shrubmajor version is found at around k+75, and the gothminor version is found at around k-75.
