Prime interval: Difference between revisions
Rework: link to harmonic, be specific about "JI" instead of "p-limit", and note its property of no redundancy and therefore forms a basis |
don't expect people to know what "unity" means. |

For example, the [[2/1|octave]] is a prime interval whereas the intervals [[5/3]] or even [[1/1]] are not. In traditional ratio notation, the prime intervals are [[2/1]], [[3/1]], [[5/1]], [[7/1]], [[11/1]] etc. | For example, the [[2/1|octave]] is a prime interval whereas the intervals [[5/3]] or even [[1/1]] are not.

The opposite of a prime interval is a [[highly composite interval]]. | |||
