Ultramajor and inframinor thirds and sixths are found in diatonic scales, specifically when fifths are tuned extremely sharp (to about 715 cents or so). Ultramajor seconds are not found in the diatonic scale. For a given [[neutral]] interval ''k'' in cents, the ultramajor quality is sharper than around k+95 cents, and the inframinor quality is flatter than around k-95 cents. | Ultramajor and inframinor thirds and sixths are found in diatonic scales, specifically when fifths are tuned extremely sharp (to about 715 cents or so).

Optionally, the category of ultramajor or inframinor may be split into two smaller categories. Tuning ranges have been provided in terms of thirds: | Optionally, the category of ultramajor or inframinor may be split into two smaller categories.
