This is a sandbox page for me (Ganaram) to test out a few things before deploying things. (Expect some mess.)

TAMNAMS use
This article assumes TAMNAMS conventions for naming scale degrees, intervals, and step ratios.
Names for the scale degrees of xL ys, the position of the scales tones, are called mosdegrees, or prefixdegrees. Its intervals, the pitch difference between any two tones, are based on the number of large and small steps between them and are called mossteps, or prefixsteps. Both mosdegrees and mossteps use 0-indexed numbering, as opposed to using 1-indexed ordinals, such as mos-1st instead of 0-mosstep. The use of 1-indexed ordinal names is discouraged for nondiatonic MOS scales.
JI ratio intro
For general ratios: m/n, also called interval-name, is a p-limit just intonation ratio of exactly/about r¢.
For harmonics: m/1, also called interval-name, is a just intonation ration that represents the mth harmonic of exactly/about r¢.
