* A letter which appears ''m'' times refers to the (''m'' + 1)-th most accurate mapping for that prime. | * A letter which appears ''m'' times refers to the (''m'' + 1)-th most accurate mapping for that prime. | ||
* So, if a number representing a val is wartless, it is taken to mean the patent val. | * So, if a number representing a val is wartless, it is taken to mean the patent val. | ||
* In | * In Graham Breed's temperament finder, the wart letter "p" is used to make explicit that the number refers to the patent val (though the letter originally was intended to stand for "prime"). Note that "p" is logically the letter for prime 53. | ||
* A wart letter may ''prefix'' the number, in which case it specifies the corresponding prime as the [[interval of equivalence]] to be divided by the following number. For example, b13 refers to the patent val of [[13edt|13ed3]]. The octave is assumed, so "a" is typically not written out. | * A wart letter may ''prefix'' the number, in which case it specifies the corresponding prime as the [[interval of equivalence]] to be divided by the following number.
