A '''subgroup basis matrix''' is matrix consisting of columns of [[monzo]]s which is a generic representation for a basis of a [[just intonation subgroup]], as its integer column spans span the subgroup. Each column represents an entry in the basis, e.g. {{monzo list| 1 0 0 0 | 0 1 0 0 | 0 0 1 0 }} represents the 2.3.5 subgroup of 2.3.5.7.

Subgroup basis matrices are dual to [[temperament mapping matrix|temperament mapping matrices]]. Temperament mapping matrices are matrices that represent [[regular temperament]]s; they are {{w|linear map|linear maps}} that send monzos to [[tempered monzos and vals|tempered monzos]]. The integer row span of any mapping matrix is the set of all [[vals and tuning space|vals]] that [[support]] the temperament, which form a sublattice within the lattice of vals. Subgroup basis matrices are also linear maps, but they take [[subgroup monzos and vals|subgroup monzos]] and map them to regular monzos on the parent JI group. And, dual to temperament mapping matrices, subgroup basis matrices can also be left-multiplied by vals and thus thought of as linear maps or {{w|group homomorphism|group homomorphisms}} on vals. They send vals to subgroup vals on the basis represented by the matrix, sometimes called ''restricting'' (or more rarely, ''co-tempering'') the vals. These are dual to how temperament mapping matrices send [[tempered monzos and vals|tempered vals]] back to regular vals. Note the duality here – subgroup vals are a ''{{w|quotient group}}'' of regular vals, whereas subgroup monzos are a ''subgroup'' of regular monzos.

Say that our JI parent group ''J'' is in the 7-limit, and we want to look at temperaments on the 2.9/7.5/3 subgroup. We can create the subgroup mapping matrix ''S'' by forming a matrix in which the columns are the monzo representation of these intervals:

These monzos are the 7-limit representation of 9/7 and 245/243, respectively, in 2.3.5.7 coordinates.

To restrict a val to the subgroup defined by the subgroup basis matrix, we will left-multiply ''S'' by a val ''V''. In this case, our val ''V'' will be the 7-limit [[patent val]] for [[12edo]]:

which tells us that the restriction of the 12edo patent val to the 2.9/7.5/3 subgroup is the subgroup val ''V''<sub>''G''</sub> = {{val| 12 4 9 }}, with a mapping of 12 steps for 2/1, a mapping of 4 steps for 9/7, and a mapping of 9 steps for 5/3.

We can also send temperament mapping matrices into the subgroup matrix. For instance, here is the matrix ''V'' for 7-limit [[sensi]] – with the rows explicitly notated as vals, and the columns explicitly notated as tempered monzos:
