Scales with higher [[interval variety]] have interval classes with more qualities. Although there are no standard labels yet, ''large'', ''medium'' and ''small'' can be used for variety-3 interval classes. | Scales with higher [[interval variety]] have interval classes with more qualities.

The [[harmonic series]] taken a scale theoretically contains infinitely many interval qualities for each interval class. For that reason, relative quality is rarely used in that context and other tools are used to describe the variety of intervals found in [[just intonation]] taken as a whole, such as absolute interval quality. | The [[harmonic series]] taken as a scale theoretically contains infinitely many interval qualities for each interval class.
