===The procedure===
Consider the rank-2 temperament a&b, where a and b are two [[val]]s. Then the entries of the wedgie W corresponding to a&b are W(2, q_1), ..., W(2, q_n), and W(q_i, q_j) for i < j, and the entry W(p,q) is given by a(p)b(q) - a(q)b(p). (This is how the wedge product of two 1-forms a and b works.)
