Interval lattice

Notation

Marvel can be notated the same as 5-limit just intonation since they share the same lattice structure.

One way to do this is to take the conventional circle-of-fifths notation with an additional module of accidentals for the 81/80 comma. In this system, 5/4 is a major third, 7/4 an augmented sixth, and 11/8 a double diminished 5th.

Marvel nomenclature for selected intervals
Ratio Nominal Example
3/2 Perfect 5th C-G
5/4 Down major 3rd C-vE
7/4 Double down augmented 6th C-vvA#
11/8 Triple up double diminished 5th C-^3Gbb
