Typically, intonation is a small interval between -50 ¢ and +50 ¢ although larger values are allowed. In our model, the common tonic of all modes of the overtone scale has an intonation of 0 ¢ by definition.

According to this definition'','' the upper pitch of the just major third above the tonic (Mode 4, see Example 1 in the section above) has an intonation interval of -14 ¢, which represents the ''distance to the nearest vertical 12edo line''. (Note that we generally evaluate intonation beginning at the 12edo pitch. This results in a minus sign for the intonation of the upper note of a just a third.)
