 === What these columns mean ===
-* Degree: Steps in the octave period
+* Degree: Number of steps within the octave period.
-* Name: Abbreviation of the spoken name of the interval; min = minor ; neu = neutral ; Maj = major ; dim = diminished ; Aug = augmented.
+* Name: Abbreviated spoken name of the interval:
-* Cents: Cents value of the interval
+** min = minor
-* Approximate Ratios: Ratios near the cent value of the interval. Other interpretations are possible.
+** neu = neutral
-* Height: Heights arbitrarily assigned to each interval to rank the chord types in the Some chords section below. Other approaches are possible.
+** Maj = major
+** dim = diminished
+** Aug = augmented
+* Cents: Size of the interval.
+* Approximate Ratios: Small ratios close to the interval, given as possible just-intonation interpretations; other choices are possible.
+* Height: Arbitrary “height” values assigned to each interval, used to rank chord types in the Some chords section below. This is only one possible way to order or classify the intervals.
