In a perfect interval: 7 and a half steps In a 5th diminish: 6 and a half steps
Going from b-flat and e-flat is equal to a perfect fourth interval, which is five semitones (or "half-steps").
A perfect unison consists of zero half steps. It occurs when two notes are the same pitch, meaning there is no distance between them. In musical terms, this interval is considered the most basic, as it represents identical frequencies.

There are several types of intervals in music, typically classified as perfect, major, minor, augmented, and diminished. Each of these intervals is based on the number of half steps between the notes and their qualities. For example, a major third consists of four half steps, while a minor third consists of three half steps. Additionally, intervals can be categorized as simple (within an octave) or compound (spanning more than an octave).
A semitone is one half-step.
