Is this a typo? Cheers Dave Ty,

Very helpful. I have a question though. Up above you list in your table that min 6th interval will have 8 semitones and that a Maj 3rd will have 4 semitones. You then list list below that C to A in a minor 6th and the compliment (A to C) is a Major 3rd. This doesn't seem to work (there are 9 semitones from C to A and 3 semitones from A to C). Am I missing something here or have I completely misunderstood this? Appreciate your further guidance on this. Thanks, Paul Hi Ty,
