Since the asterisk is not being used to impart information, we can use it to distinguish major from minor triads. So we might decide that [r e3 e5] defines a major triad with root given by |* e3 e5> when r is even, and a minor triad when r is odd. | ||
If r is even, therefore, we will regard the 3-tuple [r e3 e5] as denoting a major triad, and if [n, [r e3 e5]] is the tablet we wish to define, we first calculate u = n - 5e3 - 7e5. Then if r is even, we have | If r is even, therefore, we will regard the 3-tuple [r e3 e5] as denoting a major triad, and if [n, [r e3 e5]] is the tablet we wish to define, we first calculate u = n - 5e3 - 7e5.
