Supermajor and subminor intervals are found in diatonic scales where the fifth is tuned significantly sharper than just - depending on the desired interval category, between 709 and 715 cents.  For a given [[neutral]] interval ''k'' in cents, the supermajor quality ranges from around k+78 to k+95, and the subminor quality ranges from around k-95 to k-78.
