A '''form''' is a framework for conceptualizing the [[~~Interval|intervals~~]] in a [[tuning system]], where the N-form contains N [[~~Interval~~ category|interval categories]] within the equave. Given a [[regular temperament]] or other regular tuning, its form is the number of notes in the "basic" scale that represents the categorical distinctions being made by the system, where such a scale is usually [[soft]]. For an example, [[meantone]] is a 7-form structure, as meantone is most usefully conceptualized as containing 7 interval categories and can be reasonably simplified to 7edo to understand its structure. [[Superpyth]] is a 5-form structure, and shares this property with many other temperaments in 2.3.7.
