Thanks for the clear explanations.

I have the following questions:

1) Are intervals independent of scales? Are they minor or major regardless of the scales on which they exist?

2) Are intervals designated as major, minor, diminished or augmented strictly according to the total of the whole tones and half tones they contain and not according to any pattern of whole-tone half-tone steps? For example C to F is a perfect fourth and E to A is a perfect fourth?

3) Only the perfect intervals become diminished or augmented? The others are only either major or minor?

3) I couldn't open the Finale attachment. I have the Finale NotePad 2001 version. Do I need to download something else?
