In this scheme the ordinary Tenney norm now becomes the '''T<sub>1</sub> norm''', and in general we call an interval space that has been given a T<sub>''p''</sub> norm '''T<sub>''p''</sub> interval space'''. We may sometimes notate this as T<sub>''p''</sub><sup>G</sup>, where ''G'' is the associated group the interval space is built around. | In this scheme the ordinary Tenney norm now becomes the '''T<sub>1</sub> norm''', and in general we call an interval space that has been given a T<sub>''p''</sub> norm '''T<sub>''p''</sub> interval space'''.

The generalized Tenney norm can thus be thought of as applying the same three-step process that the Tenney norm does, but where the last step can be an arbitrary ''L''<sub>''p''</sub> norm rather than restricting our consideration to the ''L''<sub>1</sub> norm. | ||
T<sub>''p''</sub> norms are thus generalizations of the Tenney norm which continue to weight the primes and prime powers as the Tenney norm does, but for which an arbitrary interval ''n''/''d'' may no longer have a complexity of log<sub>2</sub>(''nd''). Furthermore, generalized T<sub>''p''</sub> norms may sometimes differ from the T<sub>1</sub> norm in their ranking of intervals by T<sub>''p''</sub> complexity, although the T<sub>''p''</sub> norm of any interval is always bounded by its T<sub>1</sub> norm. However, despite these supposed theoretical disadvantages, there can be many indirect implications of using a T<sub>''p''</sub> norm other than T<sub>1</sub> which are theoretically justified; additionally, certain T<sub>''p''</sub> norms are worth using as an approximation to T<sub>1</sub> for their strong computational advantages. As such, T<sub>''p''</sub> spaces are musically justified enough to merit further study, despite the surface advantages of sticking exclusively to the T<sub>1</sub> norm. | T<sub>''p''</sub> norms are thus generalizations of the Tenney norm which continue to weight the primes and prime powers as the Tenney norm does, but for which an arbitrary interval ''n''/''d'' may no longer have a complexity of log<sub>2</sub>(''nd'').
