All intervals are given a diatonic degree (e.g. [[3/2]] is a fifth), derived from their [[7edo]] [[patent val]] mapping.  A basic (b) n-th is the simplest (via [[Tenney height]]) just n-th. A left (<) n-th is the simplest n-th that is flatter than the basic n-th, and similarly a right (>) n-th is the simplest n-th that is sharper than the basic n-th.

A left (<) n-th is the simplest n-th that is flatter than the basic n-th, and similarly a right (>) n-th is the simplest n-th that is sharper than the basic n-th. More complex qualities are obtained as combinations of lefts and rights. For exampe, leftleft is flatter than left, leftright is between left and basic, rightleft is between basic snd right, and rightright is sharper than right.
