* 4/3 Lss, 4/3 sLs: Rather than being divided into two large steps and one small step as in the diatonic scale, 4/3 can always be divided into one large step and two small steps. The large step is 9/8, and the two small steps are "neutral seconds" representing the sub-munit "32/27 ss". | |||
* 11/8 LsL: In contrast, two large steps and a small step make a much less consonant and more colorful interval, 11/8.</pre></div> | |||
