Here is a list of irrational intervals. As such most of them don't have any notation since they are outside just intonation (all rational intervals) and all equal temperaments, which, though irrational, are only in the form xy/z and are found at List of pitch intervals. Rational intervals 1, 2, 3, and 4 are included for context.
