'''Interval class''' is used in the following ways: | '''Interval class''' is used in the following ways: | ||
# First, common in academic [[Wikipedia: Set theory (music)|set theory]], defines it as the [[Octave #Octave equivalence|octave-equivalent]] distance between two pitch classes, measured by the shortest distance. Thus C to G may be the interval of 7, but its interval class is 5. The largest interval class or "ic" – in [[12edo]] – is the tritone (6). This may be criticized on the grounds that it is less useful and less generalizable than the second definition. | # First, common in academic [[Wikipedia: Set theory (music)|set theory]], defines it as the [[Octave #Octave equivalence|octave-equivalent]] distance between two pitch classes, measured by the shortest distance.
