All intervals are given a diatonic degree, derived from their [[7edo]] [[patent val]] mapping. If k is a degree, the central k-th is the simplest (according to [[Tenney height]]) just ratio which is a k-th. For example, the central 3rd is [[5/4]], since it is the simplest 3rd, and the central 7th is [[7/4]], since it is the simplest 7th. The left k-th is the simplest k-th which is flatter than central, and the right k-th is the simplest k-th which is sharper than central. | All intervals are given a diatonic degree, derived from their [[7edo]] [[patent val]] mapping.
