A common shorthand in use in the microtonal community is ''k''\''N'', written with a backslash (\) instead of a forwardslash (/), to refer to an interval with a frequency ratio of 2<sup>''k''/''N''</sup>. ''k''\''N'' is pronounced "''k'' steps of ''N'' [[edo]]" | A common shorthand in use in the microtonal community is ''k''\''N'', written with a backslash (\) instead of a forwardslash (/), to refer to an interval with a frequency ratio of 2<sup>''k''/''N''</sup>. ''k''\''N'' is pronounced "''k'' steps of ''N'' [[edo]]", and can be derived from the meaning of "[[step]]s" in the context of edos (unless talking about steps of specific subsets/scales of some edo). | ||
