Author comments: Please create criteria for inclusion which include at most 50 intervals. Then replace my list of intervals with a list of intervals that meet the new criteria.

The following is an exhibit featuring a small, carefully curated collection of just intonation intervals. It is intended to include those few intervals which stand out above the rest as particularly audible or structurally essential.

Criteria for inclusion

The criteria for an interval's inclusion are:

  • The interval must be between 1/1 and 2/1 (inclusive)
  • (To be determined)

If it meets those criteria, it is welcome to be added.
