The [[interval qualities]] "'''supermajor'''" and "'''subminor'''" essentially refer to [[interval]]s sharper than major and flatter than minor, respectively; a supermajor interval is sharper than the corresponding ~[[12edo]] interval by approximately a sixth-tone or [[diesis]], and a subminor interval is flat of the corresponding ~12edo interval by approximately a sixth-tone or diesis.

For example, supermajor thirds may be found between about 429-446 cents, and subminor thirds may be found between about 256–273{{cent}}.
