	An '''eigenmonzo''' (also known as an '''unchanged interval''') is a (usually justly intoned) interval that remains unchanged when a specific tuning of a given temperament is applied to it. The term "eigenmonzo" does not imply that the interval is notated in monzo form, so that if 2.3 [2 -1] is an eigenmonzo, then we may also refer to the same interval written as a ratio, 4/3, as an eigenmonzo.		An '''eigenmonzo''' (also known as an '''unchanged interval''') is a (usually justly intoned) interval that remains unchanged when a specific tuning of a given temperament is applied to it. The term "eigenmonzo" does not imply that the interval is notated in monzo form, so that if 2.3 {{Monzo\|2 -1}} is an eigenmonzo, then we may also refer to the same interval written as a ratio, 4/3, as an eigenmonzo.

	A [[regular temperament]] transforms untempered intervals into tempered intervals, which changes most of their sizes. Only a small set of exceptional intervals do not change in size. This set of unchanged intervals depends on the choice of tuning.		A [[regular temperament]] transforms untempered intervals into tempered intervals, which changes most of their sizes.
