Ledzo notation supports a form of interval arithmetic natively, since intervals are stacked just by adding their monzos together. For example, a major third plus a minor third is a perfect fifth, and that's represented as follows: [-2 0 1⟩ * [1 1 -1⟩ = [-1 1 0⟩. This translates intuitively into the ledzo: -2ac + ab-c = -ab, analogously for the octave complements: -c + -bc = -b (note that concatenation here does not mean multiplication in the logarithmic scale this is using, positive entries have a hidden plus sign that is not written!)

[[Regular temperaments]] can be notated by taking a, b, c, etc to stand for the [[Majestazic system|tempered primes]] used in the temperament.
