Lattice
A harmonic lattice diagram (lattice) is an instrument to visualize relations of tones. It's a projection of a multi-dimensional structure onto a 2D screen.
The Tonnetz is the lattice that represents 12edo's mapping of 5-limit intervals.
Examples
-
A square lattice representing marvel temperament. -
A hexagonal lattice representing 41edo's mapping of 5-limit intervals, using ups and downs notation. -
A hexagonal lattice representing a subset of 7-limit intervals, using color notation.
