**[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothenberg_propriety|Propriety]]** : If s is monotone, and if i ≤ j implies every element in class(i) is less than or equal to every element in class(j), then s is (Rothenberg) proper. If i < j implies every element in class(i) is strictly less than every element in class(j), then s is strictly proper. In academic music theory circles, strict propriety is most often called //coherence//. Note that strict propriety implies constant structure. | **[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rothenberg_propriety|Propriety]]** : If s is monotone, and if i ≤ j implies every element in class(i) is less than or equal to every element in class(j), then s is (Rothenberg) proper.

**Epimorphic**: If the image of s consists of rational numbers, that is, if s[i] is rational for every i, and if there exists a [[Vals and Tuning Space|val]] V such that V(s[i]) = i for every integer i, then s is weakly epimorphic with val V. If s is monotone, then s is simply called epimorphic. Weakly epimorphic also implies constant structure, but not propriety. | **Epimorphic**: If the image of s consists of rational numbers, that is, if s[i] is rational for every i, and if there exists a [[Vals and Tuning Space|val]] V such that V(s[i]) = i for every integer i, then s is weakly epimorphic with val V.
