What interval qualities will label is distances from these "central intervals". For each interval degree, follow the given procedure:


* Find the smallest interval greater than 25c above the neutral interval. Take the interval BEFORE this and label it "submajor" (if its offset is still positive, otherwise, interpret it as submajor but do not actually assign it that name).
* Find the smallest interval greater than or equal to 24c above the neutral interval. Take the interval BEFORE this and label it "submajor" (if its offset is still positive, otherwise, interpret it as submajor but do not actually assign it that name).
* Find a) the closest interval to 85c above the neutral interval or b) the smallest interval greater than 75c above the neutral interval, whichever is higher. Label this interval "supermajor".  
* Find a) the closest interval to 85c above the neutral interval or b) the smallest interval greater than 75c above the neutral interval, whichever is higher. Label this interval "supermajor".  
** If supermajor and submajor coincide, label the interval "major" and then label the next interval up "supermajor".
** If supermajor and submajor coincide, label the interval "major" and then label the next interval up "supermajor".
