In [[rank|multirank]] systems, it is customary that generators are said as opposed to the period. Specifically, the first generator is called the period, and only the rest are called the generators. | In [[rank|multirank]] systems, it is customary that generators are said as opposed to the period.

Combined with another convention, canonicalizing the domain basis and the val list, the result is usually a period of 2/1 or fraction of 2/1. If you want a nonoctave (3/1, 3/2, 7/4, ...) scale, let's break one of the conventions. Not canonicalizing the domain basis, or directly make nonoctave scale from canonical form mapping. | |||
