→Reasoning for 0-indexed intervals: This is what I thought at first, but maybe it wasn't a good idea. I would ideally prefer to use "k-diastep" for diatonic tunings, and use names based on traditional 1-indexed names for interval regions. Tags: Mobile edit Mobile web edit |

To overcome this, TAMNAMS uses a 0-indexed name system for non-diatonic mos intervals, which makes the arithmetic needed to understand mos intervals much smoother. Going up a 0-mosstep means to go up zero steps, and stacking two 4-mossteps produces an 8-mosstep, rather than stacking two mos5ths to produce a mos9th. The use of ordinal indexing is generally discouraged when referring to non-diatonic mos intervals. | To overcome this, TAMNAMS uses a 0-indexed name system for non-diatonic mos intervals, which makes the arithmetic needed to understand mos intervals much smoother.
