A '''monzo''' is a way of notating a JI interval that allows us to express directly how any "composite" interval is represented in terms of those simpler prime intervals. They are typically written using the notation {{monzo|a b c d e f ... }}, where the columns represent how the primes 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, etc, in that order, contribute to the interval's prime factorization, up to some [[Harmonic Limit|prime limit]]. | A '''monzo''' is a way of notating a JI interval that allows us to express directly how any "composite" interval is represented in terms of those simpler prime intervals.

Monzos can be thought of as counterparts to [[vals]]. | Monzos can be thought of as counterparts to [[vals]]. Like vals, they also only permit integers as their entries (unless otherwise specified). | ||
