Suppose a > b and gcd(a, b) = 1.
Suppose a > b and gcd(a, b) = 1.
# Every interordinal in basic aLbs<E> is a neutral or semiperfect interval in the parent mos bL(a-b)s<E>.
# Every interordinal of basic aLbs<E> is a neutral or semiperfect interval of the parent mos bL(a-b)s<E>.
# Every interordinal interval in the parent mos bL(a-b)s<E> of basic aLbs<E> is a neutral or semiperfect interval in basic aLbs<E>.  
# Every interordinal interval of the parent mos bL(a-b)s<E> of basic aLbs<E> is a neutral or semiperfect interval of basic aLbs<E>.  
# The number (b - 1) counts the places in 2(2a+b)edE (twice the basic mos tuning for aLbs<E>) where the parent's interordinal is two steps away, instead of one step away, from each of the adjacent ordinal categories.
# Except the neutral/semiperfect 1-step and the neutral/semiperfect (a+b-1)-step, every neutral or semiperfect interval of basic aLbs<E> is an interordinal of bL(a-b)s<E>. The number (b - 1) counts the places in 2(2a+b)edE (twice the basic mos tuning for aLbs<E>) where the parent's interordinal is two steps away, instead of one step away, from each of the adjacent ordinal categories.
