Val: Difference between revisions

Line 40:

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.

* In Graham Breed's temperament finder, the wart letter "q" and after refers each non-prime basis of composite/fractional subgroup, respectively and temporarily.

* To be less ambiguous than Graham Breed's verson, [[User:CompactStar|CompactStar]] has suggested using a number enclosed in square brackets for composite/fractional subgroups, such as [9] for a wart representing 9, although this is not a widely-accepted notation.
