| | ''Interval class'' is used in two different ways. One, common in academic "set theory", defines it as the distance between two pitch classes, measured by the shortest distance. Thus C to G may be the interval of 7, but its interval class is 5. The largest interval class or "ic"--in [[12edo|12edo]]--is the tritone (6). This may be criticized on two grounds: it's not a class in the vocabulary of mathematics, and it's less useful than the second definition. |
