In the language of mathematics, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversal transversal] is a selection of one representative element from each set of a collection of sets. Transversals may be used to define scales tempered by a [[~~Regular_Temperaments|~~regular temperament]] in a way which is precise, useful for several purposes, and independent of the exact tuning used by the temperament. For each note of a scale which is defined in p-limit temperament, there is a set of p-limit rational intervals which is tempered by the temperament to that note. This gives us a collection of sets, and selecting a representative element from each set gives us a transversal. Transversals may also be used to denote all of the intervals of a regular temperament, usually by confining the intervals of the transversal to a subgroup of the group tempered by the temperament. For instance, Pythagorean tuning provides a transversal for meantone.
