This is an appendix to Dave Keenan & Douglas Blumeyer's guide to RTT. The tables in this article present our recommendations for communicating about regular temperament theory (RTT), in particular the names and notations for temperament matrices, tuning schemes, interval complexities, and measurement units.

Our recommendations are designed to make this topic easy to learn for musicians who do not have technical backgrounds, though we have generally deferred to established mathematical, scientific, and engineering conventions for the benefit of those who do.

See here for more information on our variation on extended bra-ket notation.

We've followed a symbol formatting pattern, explained by the table below, which we hope serves as an aid to quickly identifying objects and remembering their properties and purposes, but at the least we hope our choices are unobtrusive. In short, the objects with simple units of primes, generators or cents, i.e. the things which are actually audible in our application, are distinguished by upright formatting, while other variables are italic as is conventional. This is crossed with the mathematical convention that objects of order-1 like vectors are bolded and order-2 like matrices are uppercased:

Units →   Simple units Compound or no units
↓ Order ↓ Style → Upright Italic
   
0 Plain   Scalar with simple unit Scalar with no unit
1 Bold Vector Map (row vector)
2 UPPERCASE LIST or BASIS True MATRIX

We present our conventions here in three separate sections, one for each level of this article series: basic, intermediate, and advanced. The basic section contains only information covered in the basic part of the series, the intermediate section contains both basic and intermediate, and the advanced section contains it all (that is to say, the sections are cumulative)[note 1]. We expect that for most readers, the basic tier will be the best reference (this is the reference designed primarily for musicians interested in RTT, as opposed to scientists, engineers, mathematicians, or theoreticians), and so we've left the other two sections initially collapsed.

WinCompose

Are you tired of every time web-searching for and copy-pasting special characters that you use over and over in RTT discussions, or would like to use if only it were easy, such as ♯, ♭, ¢, √, °, ₂, ×, −1, ⟩, ∞, and ϕ? Well, try WinCompose! This tool lets you communicate about these ideas without disrupting your train of thought, by typing these characters with simple and memorable key sequences. These sequences always begin with your chosen Compose-key, which defaults to being your right Alt key. When describing these sequences we represent this key with the symbol ⎄. So for example, you type ♯ as ⎄##, ♭ as ⎄bb, ¢ as ⎄c/, √ as ⎄v/, ° as ⎄00, ₂ as ⎄-2, × as ⎄xx, −1 as ⎄11, ⟩ as ⎄>>, ∞ as ⎄88, and ϕ as ⎄8f.

For Windows users, install WinCompose then copy-paste the contents of this file: https://dkeenan.com/XCompose.txt into your user sequences (Show sequences → User-defined sequences → Edit). Then save and reload. You can always choose to override or add alternatives to our sequences if you find others to be more intuitive.

For Mac users, we refer you to this repo, which gives tools and instructions for setting up key bindings as compose rules in Mac OS, and even comes pre-packaged with our rules: https://github.com/cmloegcmluin/compose2keybindings

Footnotes

  1. ↑ The advanced section also contains conventions collected from other RTT-related articles Dave and Douglas have contributed to but are outside the main guide to RTT series.
  2. ↑ For educational purposes, we use the 𝟙 symbol here to represent the implicit dimensionless unit that the weighting annotation "(C)" is attached to. But this symbol should not be shown in the reduced result. Another way to understand how we arrive at a bare annotation for the units of this quantity is to consider that w = d/|e| whose units are ¢(W) / ¢ and the cents cancel.
  3. ↑ You may sometimes see annotated units without parentheses, such as "dBA", but this is not compliant with SI standards, so we always keep the parentheses.
  4. ↑ Per https://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/checklist.html and https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/54885/should-there-be-a-space-between-a-value-and-the-units-used .
  5. ↑ It seems there is no standard symbol for a musical cent, except the word spelled in full (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cent_(music)). But it seems unlikely anyone will interpret the cent currency symbol "¢" following a number in a musical context as anything other than musical cents.
  6. ↑ In these tables, "alternative" means any complexity other than the default of log-product complexity, and "alt" stands for its abbreviation.
  7. ↑ May be used for a prime-limit or for any prime-only list.
