Submajor and supraminor intervals are found in flatly tuned diatonic scales, such as where the fifth is tuned to around 691 cents. For a given neutral interval k in cents, submajor ranges from roughly k+10 to k+24 cents, and supraminor ranges from roughly k-24 to k-10 cents. For example, submajor seconds are found between about 157 to 171 cents, containing the lower range of the "equable heptatonic" region defined by Margo Schulter. | Submajor and supraminor intervals are found in flatly tuned diatonic scales, such as where the fifth is tuned to around 691 cents.

In the theory of MidnightBlue, | In the theory of MidnightBlue, some of these ranges are considered "dead zones" as they introduce potentially unwanted ambiguities between interval categories. However, in other practices, this might be leveraged to musical effect. | ||
