FA-80902 / Music interval and transposition theory / Member archive

Interval quality and number naming: compound octave reference counted every eight numbers · case 02

Double-octave compounds such as C4 to C6 lose one octave of reference span and return None.

Case contract

Input [lower, upper] spelled pitches (letter, # or b accidentals, nonnegative octave). The generic number counts letter steps plus 7 per spelled octave plus one; quality compares the semitone span with the major/perfect reference (compounds add 12 per octave). Perfect class for simple numbers 1, 4, 5: P, A, d, AA, dd; others: M, m, A, d, AA, dd. Descending letter order or unrepresentable quality returns None.

Why this case matters

Pitch spelling and interval arithmetic decide the notes that notation, transposition and analysis tools display or play.
