Pental major/minor intervals are found in diatonic sales where the fifth is tuned slightly flat of just. If these intervals are interpreted as the 5-limit, the result is [[meantone]] temperament. For a given [[neutral]] interval ''k'' in cents, the pental major quality ranges from around {{nowrap|''k'' + 24}} to {{nowrap|''k'' + 43}}, and the pental minor quality ranges from around {{nowrap|''k'' − 43}} to {{nowrap|''k'' − 24}}. | Pental major/minor intervals are found in diatonic sales where the fifth is tuned slightly flat of just, to around 695 cents.
