Lefts and rights notation (<>) is a notation for just intonation primarily developed by CompactStar. It represents every interval as a sequence of lefts/rights and a diatonic degree.
Explanation
All intervals are given a diatonic degree (e.g. 3/2 is a fifth), derived from their 7edo patent val mapping. A basic (b) n-th is the simplest (via Tenney height) just n-th. For example:
Basic unison = 1/1
Basic second = 8/7
Basic third = 5/4
Basic fourth = 4/3
Basic fifth = 3/2
Basic sixth = 5/3
Basic seventh = 7/4
Basic octave = 2/1
