'''Submajor''' intervals are between standard major and neutral intervals, and likewise, '''supraminor''' (sometimes also '''superminor''') is an [[interval quality]] used to describe [[interval]]s wider than [[minor]], but narrower than [[neutral]]. For example, submajor thirds are found between about 361 and 375 cents, and supraminor thirds are found between about 327 and 341 cents. | '''Submajor''' intervals are between standard major and neutral intervals, and likewise, '''supraminor''' (sometimes also '''superminor''') is an [[interval quality]] used to describe [[interval]]s wider than [[minor]], but narrower than [[neutral]].

Submajor and supraminor intervals are hard to find as just intervals (partially due to the range of supraminor sixths corresponding to [[acoustic phi]]), and do not correspond cleanly to any subgroup of JI. However, here are some examples of just submajor and supraminor intervals: | Submajor and supraminor intervals are hard to find as just intervals (partially due to the range of supraminor sixths corresponding to [[acoustic phi]]), and do not correspond cleanly to any [[subgroup]] of [[JI]].
