::Thank you Fredg999!

::* I believe the most common usage of the [-1, 0, -1] vector notation that I've encountered is as exponents of primes in JI, which I just now found named as "prime factor notation" [http://tonalsoft.com/monzo/article/article.htm here]. Perhaps a one-paragraph section called "Prime factor notation" in the [[Prime number]] article would be appropriate to document this and add a link to it on the disambiguation page?

::* I will stay alert for any usages of notation for a list of scale degrees, in square brackets or otherwise. The proper musicological notation for "scale degree" would put a caret (aka circumflex accent) over each number, but that's an unusual character to type and is without a standard for HTML display or a useful Unicode coding (there's no way to put a caret over an eleven). [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Degree_(music) Wikipedia:Degree music#Major and minor scales] uses SVG graphics for them. Specialized music fonts (e.g. [http://hindson.com.au/info/free/free-fonts-available-for-download/ Free music fonts]) work in some conditions are not a good solution for a wiki. If there doesn't seem to be a "set of scale degrees" standard, we could lead by example, by including it in the list of notations, but I agree it should be omitted for now.
