== A ==

; [[achiral scale]] : A [[#S|scale]] whose mirror image (reversing the order of its [[#S|steps]]) is a [[#M|mode]] of the same scale.

~~; avoid note : A note in a scale which is considered dissonant relative to the root chord, and is thus preferably avoided~~.

Line 56:

; [[consonance]] : The subjective, contextual smoothness of an [[#I|interval]] or [[#C|chord]].

; [[constant structure]] (CS) : The property of a [[#S|scale]] whose [[#I|interval classes]] ~~are distinct~~.

; [[constant structure]] (CS) : The property of a [[#S|scale]] whose [[#I|interval classes]] do not overlap.

Line 76:

== E ==

; [[eigenmonzo]] : An interval that does not change its size in cents when a specific tuning of a given temperament is applied to it.

; [[equal temperament]] : A rank-1 [[#T|temperament]]. The temperament-agnostic term is ''equal-step tuning'' (or equal tuning).

Line 189:

Line 191:

; [[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}.

; ratio : See [[#I|~~interval~~ ratio]] and [[#S|step ratio]]. May also be used to designate other mathematical ~~[[Wikipedia:Ratio~~|~~ratios]]~~.

; ratio : See [[#F|frequency ratio]] and [[#S|step ratio]]. May also be used to designate other mathematical {{w|ratio}}s.

; [[reference tone]] (or reference pitch) : An agreed-upon fundamental or dominant [[#F|frequency]] that musical instruments will reference when adjusting tuning.
