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{{c}}. For a given [[neutral]] interval ''k'' in cents, the supermajor quality ranges from around {{nowrap|''k'' + 78}} to {{nowrap|''k'' + 95}}, and the subminor quality ranges from around {{nowrap|''k'' − 95}} to {{nowrap|''k'' − 78}}. | 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{{c}}.

Supermajor and subminor intervals are associated with [[Ploidacot/Tricot|tricot]] systems. | Supermajor and subminor intervals are associated with [[Ploidacot/Tricot|tricot]] systems, as one generator represents a supermajor second, and four stacked downward represent a subminor third. | ||
Optionally, the category of supermajor or subminor may be split into two smaller categories. Tuning ranges have been provided in terms of thirds: | Optionally, the category of supermajor or subminor may be split into two smaller categories. Tuning ranges have been provided in terms of thirds: | ||
