	~~This page serves as an introduction to~~ '''~~monzos~~''', a way of notating musical intervals.		M'''onzos''' are a way of notating musical intervals that essentially represents a "formula" for that interval.

	In tuning theory, intervals within tuning systems (whether just intonation, EDOs, or regular temperaments) are often thought of as being composed by stacking different types of basic intervals, called "generators" or "basis elements" (which for reference make up the "basis"), and it is useful to be able to write an interval directly in terms of the number of generators of each type it contains. This can be seen as a "formula" for the interval.
