== On units == | |||
Scalars do not have units. That's what makes them scalars. Do pitches have units? Maybe they are like radians, unitless but it makes no sense to add them to other kinds of objects. Whatever the case may be, prime count vectors (i.e. monzos) have inverse units to vals. This should be enough to distinguish them during SW3 runtime and prevent vals from being interpreted as pitch or turned into frequencies. | |||
