We've followed a symbol formatting pattern, explained by the table below, which we hope serves as an aid to quickly identifying objects and remembering their properties and purposes, but at the least we hope our choices are unobtrusive. In short, the objects with simple units of primes, generators or cents, i.e. the things which are actually audible in our application, are distinguished by | We've followed a symbol formatting pattern, explained by the table below, which we hope serves as an aid to quickly identifying objects and remembering their properties and purposes, but at the least we hope our choices are unobtrusive. In short, the objects with simple units of primes, generators or cents, i.e. the things which are actually audible in our application, are distinguished by plain formatting, while other variables are italic as is conventional. This is crossed with the mathematical convention that objects of order-1 like vectors are bolded and order-2 like matrices are uppercased: | ||
