Ultramajor and inframinor: Difference between revisions

Line 16:

* When used more precisely, ultramajor and inframinor may refer specifically to ranges that, for thirds, are between about 446-458 cents (for ultramajor), and between 244 and 256 cents (for inframinor). These are the "interseptimal" ranges, the ones that overlap with each other. Under this definition, ultramajor seconds range from about 242 to 254 cents, demonstrating the overlapping nature. For a given [[neutral]] interval ''k'' in cents, the ultramajor version in this sense is found at around k+100, and the inframinor version is found at around k-100.

* Similarly, when used more precisely, tendo and arto may refer specifically to ranges that, for thirds, are sharper than roughly 458 cents (for ultramajor) and flatter than roughly 244 cents (for inframinor). Under this definition, arto seconds are sharper than about 254 cents, demonstrating that in most cases, arto and tendo intervals are better off relabelled as belonging to an adjacent category - the exception is functional cases, such as chord names and certain temperaments. For a given [[neutral]] interval ''k'' in cents, the tendo version in this sense is found at around k+115, and the arto version is found at around k-115.

* [[Neutral (interval quality)]] - halfway between major and minor

* [[Submajor and supraminor]] - roughly 10 to 24 cents sharp or flat of neutral

* [[Pental major and minor]] - roughly 24 to 43 cents sharp or flat of neutral

* [[Novamajor and novaminor]] - roughly 43 to 60 cents sharp or flat of neutral

* [[Neogothic major and minor]] - roughly 60 to 78 cents sharp or flat of neutral

* ~~[[Supermajor and subminor]] - roughly 78 to 95 cents sharp or flat of neutral~~
