A '''major third (M3)''' in the [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]] is an interval that spans two scale steps with the major (wider) quality. It is generated by stacking 4 fifths [[octave reduction|octave reduced]], and depending on the specific tuning, it ranges from 343 to 480{{cent}} ([[7edo|2\7]] to [[5edo|2\5]]). | A '''major third (M3)''' in the [[5L 2s|diatonic scale]] is an interval that spans two scale steps with the major (wider) quality.
