	A '''form''' is a framework for conceptualizing the [[~~Interval\|intervals~~]] in a [[tuning system]], where the N-form contains N [[~~Interval~~ category\|interval categories]] within the equave. Given a [[regular temperament]] or other regular tuning, its form is the number of notes in the "basic" scale that represents the categorical distinctions being made by the system, where such a scale is usually [[soft]]. For an example, [[meantone]] is a 7-form structure, as meantone is most usefully conceptualized as containing 7 interval categories and can be reasonably simplified to 7edo to understand its structure.

A '''form''' is a framework for conceptualizing the [[Interval|intervals]] in a [[tuning system]], where the N-form contains N [[Interval category|interval categories]] within the equave.

A tuning system is in the N-form if it is describable by a (usually [[soft]], at minimum [[Rothenberg propriety|Rothenberg proper]]) scale of cardinality N, such that N-[[edo]] is the simplest edo that gives a sense of the categorical distinctions being made by the structure. For an example, meantone is a 7-form structure, as meantone is most usefully conceptualized as containing 7 interval categories and can be reasonably simplified to 7edo to understand its structure. Superpyth is a 5-form structure, and shares this property with many other temperaments in 2.3.7.
