In [[diatonic set theory]] a '''generic interval''' is the number of scale [[Step (music)|step]]s between [[note (music)|notes]] of a [[Set (music)|collection]] or [[scale (music)|scale]]. The largest generic [[interval (music)|interval]] is one less than the number of scale members. (Johnson 2003, p.26)
