:: And re: N, what I meant was more like: what does it mean? Does the letter N stand for something? Or does that value represent something I would be familiar with? Or is it just some abstract number to work with? It's probably obvious to some readers (esp. given the way you matter-of-factly present it) but I have no idea myself. Thanks for indulging my questions. Hopefully I can at least help improve the accessibility of the ideas for others. --[[User:Cmloegcmluin|Cmloegcmluin]] ([[User talk:Cmloegcmluin|talk]]) 23:04, 15 April 2021 (UTC) | :: And re: N, what I meant was more like: what does it mean?

::: Explanation of M2, m7, etc.: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interval_(music)#Main_intervals. Knowing these terms really helps with chord names like CM6 and Dm7. | |||
::: N doesn't stand for anything. It's like x or y in algebra. But N isn't really important. The important thing is the pergen. I only wrote "Both fractions are always of the form 1/N" because I wanted to make clear that there is no "two-thirds-of-a-fifth" pergen. IOW the fraction always has a numerator of 1. If N still confuses you, I suggest you just ignore it. --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 05:39, 16 April 2021 (UTC) | |||
