There is also a notion of a ''tempered val'' on a group of ''tempered monzos'', representing intervals in some [[regular temperament]]. These names are sometimes abbreviated as ''tval'' and ''tmonzo'', respectively. Typically, this is made explicit by writing the generators beforehand. When the tempered intervals have accepted names, such as in [[meantone]], we can use names like ''P8'' and ''P5'', so that the tval P8.P5 {{val| 12 7 }} represents the 12edo "patent tval" in meantone (given that particular basis). If the intervals do not have names, a [[transversal]] can be given instead, preceded with the temperament name, so that we have (meantone) 2.3/2 {{val| 12 7 }}, or (meantone) 2.3/2 {{val| 31 18 }}. | There is also a notion of a ''tempered val'' on a group of ''tempered monzos'', representing intervals in some [[regular temperament]].
