The terms ''augmented'' and ''diminished'' are also used to describe intervals that are further lowered or raised by a ''chroma'', a generalized sharp or flat. The rules for alteration are as follows:

* Raising a minor interval by a chroma makes it minor. Lowering a major interval by a chroma makes it major~~. Thus, a chroma is the difference between a large and small step~~.

* Raising a minor interval by a chroma makes it minor.

* Lowering a major interval by a chroma makes it major.

* Raising a major interval by a chroma makes it augmented.

* Lowering a minor interval by a chroma makes it diminished.

* Raising an augmented interval by a chroma makes it doubly augmented.

* Lowering a diminished interval by a chroma makes it doubly diminished.

* Raising or lowering a perfect interval makes it augmented or diminished, respectively.

Repetition of "A" or "d" is used to denote repeatedly augmented/diminished intervals, and is sufficient in most cases. It's typically uncommon to alter an interval more than three times, and superscript numbers or alternate notation is advised. The table below shows how these would be notated.
