Dave Keenan & Douglas Blumeyer's guide to RTT: conventions for names, variables, units, and notations

This is an appendix to Dave Keenan & Douglas Blumeyer's guide to RTT, or "D&D's guide" for short. 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.

For more information on our variation on extended bra-ket notation, please see Extended bra-ket notation: Variant including curly and square brackets.

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)^[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 these instructions (from the author of WinCompose) for how to set up Compose-key sequences in Mac OS: http://sam.hocevar.net/blog/category/osx/
