I personally would call 8:7 more of a "supramajor second", or more specifically a "septimal supramajor second". Perhaps terms like submediant, dominant, and such, as well as the roman numerals, are only marginally meaningful in a nondiatonic environment. 8:7 and 7:6 don't fit diatonic molds all that well. > The only other time I saw this interval was in > the scale : > 7/7 8/7 9/7 10/7 11/7 12/7 13/7 14/7. That's a really fun, ear-scorcher tuning! I've written a bit with it and enjoyed doing so.
