When the larger number is written first (<code>note/base</code>), this usually signifies a note being played ''above'' some base tone (perhaps the starting note of a scale). When the smaller number is written first (<code>base/note</code>), this usually signifies the note being played ''below'' that base tone.

[[Chord]]s with three or more notes can also be expressed as ratios. For example, the just intoned major ~~chord~~ in root position is 4:5:6~~. (When chords are expressed as ratios, the above rule about the notes being above or below a base tone doesn't usually apply)~~. Chords can also be written as a string of intervals, such as ~~the major chord~~ 1/1–5/4–3/2.

[[Chord]]s with three or more notes can also be expressed as ratios. For example, the just intoned major triad in root position is 4:5:6. Chords can also be written as a string of intervals, such as 1/1–5/4–3/2. (4:5:6 can be viewed as a shorthand for 4/1:5/1:6/1 or 4/4:5/4:6/4).

The [[harmonic series]] can be represented as the infinite ratio 1:2:3:4:5:6:7:8:9:10:11:12:13:14:15:16:17…
