In terms of mediants, minor triads tend to range between a [[mediant (tonality)|mediant]] of 37% and 47%, and major triads tend to range between 53% and 63%, corresponding to simple [[5-limit]] or septimal intervals. More extreme than major and minor are [[Extraclassical tonality|tendo and arto]], corresponding to [[interseptimal]] and [[13-limit|tridecimal]] intervals, and ultimately suspended, corresponding to simple [[3-limit]] intervals; less extreme than major and minor are neutral triads.
