Main intervals from C. In Western music theory, an interval is named according to its number (also called diatonic number, interval size [6] or generic interval [7]) and quality. For instance, major third (or M3) is an interval name, in which the term major (M) describes the quality of the interval, and third (3) indicates its number.

In music, an interval ratio is a ratio of the frequencies of the pitches in a musical interval. For example, a just perfect fifth (for example C to G) is 3:2 ( Play ⓘ ), 1.5, and may be approximated by an equal tempered perfect fifth ( Play ⓘ ) which is 2 7/12 (about 1.498).
Interval between one musical pitch and another with half or double its frequency. Twelve semitones equal an octave, so do the first and the eighth (hence "oct"ave) note in a major or minor scale. ohne Dämpfer (Ger.) Without a mute omaggio Homage, celebration one-voice-per-part
In music theory, the tritone is defined as a musical interval spanning three adjacent whole tones (six semitones). [1] For instance, the interval from F up to the B above it (in short, F–B) is a tritone as it can be decomposed into the three adjacent whole tones F–G, G–A, and A–B.

The music program Logic Pro uses also 1 ⁄ 2-comma meantone temperament. Equal-tempered refers to X-tone equal temperament with intervals corresponding to X divisions per octave. Tempered intervals however cannot be expressed in terms of prime limits and, unless exceptions, are not found in the table below.
In musical tuning theory, a Pythagorean interval is a musical interval with a frequency ratio equal to a power of two divided by a power of three, or vice versa. [1] For instance, the perfect fifth with ratio 3/2 (equivalent to 3 1 / 2 1 ) and the perfect fourth with ratio 4/3 (equivalent to 2 2 / 3 1 ) are Pythagorean intervals.
