# Construct a detempering of n-edo as follows: For each integer value 1 ≤ i ≤ n = V(2) = scale size, set the ith degree of the scale to be the least (according to the ordering in step 3) interval c in the listing such that V(c) = i; which is to say, the interval of least temperamental complexity with ties broken by Benedetti height. | # Construct a detempering of n-edo as follows: For each integer value 1 ≤ i ≤ n = V(2) = scale size, set the ith degree of the scale to be the least (according to the ordering in step 3) interval c in the listing such that V(c) = i; which is to say, the interval of least temperamental complexity with ties broken by Benedetti height. | ||
