More simply, left means to find the simplest flatter interval, and right means to find the simplest sharper interval, with each new left/right having less and less of an impact. For example, [[5/4]] is the leftmajor third, since it is the simplest major third flatter than [[81/64]], and [[9/7]] is the rightmajor third,. | More simply, left means to find the simplest flatter interval, and right means to find the simplest sharper interval, with each new left/right having less and less of an impact.
