Intervals larger than a major seventeenth seldom come up, most often being referred to by their compound names, for example "two octaves plus a fifth"<ref>Aikin, Jim (2004). ''A Player's Guide to Chords and Harmony: Music Theory for Real-World Musicians'', p. 24. {{ISBN|0-87930-798-6}}.</ref> rather than "a 19th".
