~~By a~~ '''tablet''' (the name by analogy with {{w|tablature}}) is ~~meant~~ a pair [''n'', ''c''] consisting of an approximate note-number ''n'' (an integer) and a chord-denoting element ''c'', typically a {{w|tuple}} of integers, which defines a type of [[chord]] up to [[octave equivalence]]. Together they define a note in a [[just intonation subgroup|just intonation group]] or [[regular temperament]]. The representation of the note is non-unique, as for any note there will be a variety of tablets for it depending on the specified type of chord and chord element, but by means of a [[val]] or val-like mapping, the number ''n'' in the tablet is definable from the note. For a discussion of how tablets can be used as a compositional tool, see [[Composing with tablets]].

There is really no better way of defining more precisely what a tablet is than by giving examples, which are considered below.
