This table lists all the intervals. There are 7 versions of every scale degree: 3 major versions, 3 minor versions, and a '''mid''' version midway between major and minor (e.g. ~2). The 7 fourths overlap with the 7 fifths, making 4 tritones. There are only 3 versions of the octave. Just like the notes, most intervals have alternate names. A few are shown here, e.g. aug unisons and aug 5ths.

11 basic [[Ratio|frequency ratios]] are shown. There are 8 familiar ones that should "lock" right away, and 3 others (7/6, 7/5 and 7/4) that will lock with a little practice. "7/6 -3¢" means that the downminor 3rd is 3¢ flat of 7/6, and one should <u>sharpen</u> it by 3¢ to tune it exactly. There are many more ratios, enough to fill the whole column!

But in 41-equal, G# ≠ Ab, the circle of fifths opens up into a spiral. Because this spiral is really a circle of 41 fifths, the innermost and outermost few notes are duplicates. In the 2nd chart, "-ish" means ±1 arrow.
