Lefts and rights notation (<>) is a notation for just intonation primarily developed by CompactStar. It represents every just interval as a sequence of lefts/rights and a diatonic degree.
Explanation
All intervals are given a diatonic degree, derived from their 7edo patent val mapping. The simplest (according to Tenney height) just k-th is known as the central (C) k-th, for example 5/4 is a central third and 7/4 is a central seventh.
