Indexed interval notation is a notation for [[just intonation]] in which all intervals are represented by a normal interval classification combined with a ordinal number or index. An index of 1 is used for the simplest interval in an interval class (such as [[6/5]] for minor thirds), an index of 2 is used for the second-simplest, an index of 3 is used for the third-simplest, and so on.
'''Lefts and rights notation'' is a notation for [[just intonation]]
