; [[rank]] : The number of [[#G|generators]] of a set of [[#I|intervals]], i.e. the set's dimensionality (not to be confused with the [[dimensionality]] of the temperament itself). For example, [[12edo]] is rank-1 because it can be generated by the semitone; [[Pythagorean tuning]] is rank-2 because it can be generated by the primes {2, 3}. | ; [[rank]] : The number of [[#G|generators]] of a set of [[#I|intervals]], i.e. the set's dimensionality (not to be confused with the [[dimensionality]] of the temperament itself).
