Supermajor and subminor intervals are found in diatonic scales where the fifth is tuned significantly sharper than just - depending on the desired interval category, between 709 and 715 cents.  For a given [[neutral]] interval ''k'' in cents, the supermajor quality ranges from around k+78 to k+95, and the pental minor quality ranges from around k-95 to k-78.

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