Tuning theory can become heavily mathematical, and here are links to some of the pages which wade into deeper waters.

It is recommended to read the pages listed on general theory first before exploring this page, as they lay the groundwork.

Intervals

Interval metrics

Chords

Musical information theory

Interval classification

Regular temperaments

Foundational theory

Subgroup temperaments

Exterior algebra

Temperament measures and optimization

Temperament classification

(Rank-1 temperaments are equal-step tunings.)

Scales

MOS scales

Scale measurements

Lattices and scale shapes
