In the [[5L 2s|diatonic]] scale, which is an [[MOS scale]], there are two interval qualities for each interval class, except the unison. The unison is always qualified as ''perfect'', the fifth and the fourth can be ''perfect'' or ''imperfect'', while other intervals are qualified as ''major'' or ''minor''. This set of interval qualities can be generalized to all MOS scales by replacing the fifth by the interval class of the generator. | In the [[5L 2s|diatonic]] scale, which is an [[MOS scale]], there are two interval qualities for each interval class, except the unison.
