The ''structure metric'' is a | The ''structure metric'' is a {{w|metric (mathematics)|distance function}} on the notes of a [[periodic scale]] within a single period, which give to it the property of being a {{w|metric space|finite metric space}}. If '''s''' is a periodic scale with quasiperiod '''P''', and if ''c'' is an interval {{nowrap|'''s'''[''i'' + ''j''] − '''s'''[''i'']}} with {{nowrap|0 ≤ ''i'' < '''P'''}}, then we may define the specific interval set S(''c'', ''j'') to be {{nowrap|{i {{!}} '''s'''[''i'' + ''j''] − '''s'''[''i''] {{=}} ''c''}<nowiki/>}} with {{nowrap|0 ≤ ''i'' < '''P'''}}, that is, indicies for the set of intervals with specific, chromatic size ''c'' and generic, scalar interval ''j''. If #S(''c'', ''j'') is the cardinality of S(''c'', ''j''), then we set d('''s'''[''a''], '''s'''[''b'']), which we will abbreviate as d(''a'', ''b''), to be {{nowrap|'''P''' − #S({{abs|'''s'''[''a''] − '''s'''[''b'']}}, {{abs|''a'' − ''b''}})}}. | ||
