 == Monzos in temperaments ==
+We write a tempered interval (an interval in a [[regular temperament]]) by taking a set of [[generator]]s (for rank-2 temperaments, this will be the period and the generator), then writing what JI ratio each generator approximates (distinguished from pure JI intervals by putting a tilde before it), followed by the number of that specified generator that the interval has. For example, the major third in [[meantone]] temperament can be written as {{monzo|~2: ‐2, ~3/2: 4}}, meaning "4 perfect fifths minus 2 octaves".
+Similarly, edo tunings of a temperament can be given in terms of vals, by specifying how many edo steps are used for each generator. For example, [[31edo]]'s tuning of meantone temperament can be written as {{val|~2: 31, ~3/2: 18}}.
