User:CompactStar/Ordinal interval notation

Lefts and rights notation (<>) is a notation for just intonation primarily developed by CompactStar.

Explanation

All intervals are given a diatonic degree (e.g. 3/2 is a fifth), derived from their 7edo patent val mapping. A basic (b) nth is the simplest (via Tenney height) just interval that is an nth. For example: Basic unison = 1/1 Basic second = 8/7 Basic third = 5/4
