[[#example01|Example 1]]) has an intonation interval of -14 ¢, which represents the ''distance to the nearest vertical 12edo line''. (Note that we generally measure intonation beginning at the nearest 12edo pitch. This results in a minus sign for the intonation of the upper note of the just third.)
[[#example01|Example 1]]) has an intonation interval of '''-14 ¢''', which represents the ''distance '''from''' the nearest vertical 12edo line''. (Note that we generally measure intonation beginning at the nearest 12edo pitch. This results in a minus sign for the intonation of the upper note of the just third.) The signed intonation interval represents the amount of retuning required when a commercial sound module is initially tuned to 12edo.
