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. Here are some examples with thirds: | 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.
