Lefts and rights notation is a notation for [[just intonation]] developed by [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]]. It is a combination of Pythagorean notation and a sequence of lefts (L) and rights (R) that are prepended to a Pythagorean classification based on a {{w|binary search}} to name all non-Pythagorean intervals.

== Definition ==
In order to map all intervals into Pythagorean intervals, each prime harmonic is mapped to the lowest-complexity Pythagorean interval that is within √([[2187/2048]]) of it (this is similar to the algorithm used by the [[Functional Just System]]). Here are some examples for smaller primes:
