Proposal: The '''relative interval measure''' is the number of steps between two pitches of an [[Equal temperament|equal]] tuning, sometimes called [[Degree|degree]]s (of an edo). For generators, the backslash notation is used d\edo, but it is also a ratio (of a logarithmic measure).

Within a given [[Equal temperament|equal]]-stepped tonal system, the [[Relative_cent|relative cent]] (rct, r¢) can be used to describe properties of pitches (for instance the approximation of [[Just intonation|JI]] intervals). It is defined as on 100th (or 1 percent) of the interval between two neighbouring pitches in the used equal tuning.
