Template:Prime form
[0]
Usage[edit]
This template displays the prime form for a given pitch class set number.
- {{Prime form|3-1}}
produces:
- [0,1,2]
The default result is the Forte number[1] though the Rahn[2]/Morris[3]/Straus[4]/Starr[5] number may be requested through the "method" parameter (though this only affects five sets: [1]). Thus:
- {{Prime form|method=Rahn|6-31}}
- {{Prime form|method=Forte|6-31}} [or {{Prime form|6-31}}]
produces:
- [0,1,4,5,7,9]
- [0,1,3,5,8,9]
The reverse, the pitch class set number for a given prime form, is available through {{Prime form/reverse}}. Thus:
- {{Prime form/reverse|[0,1,5,6,8]}} [or {{Prime form/reverse|[0,1,3,7,8]}}]
produces:
- 5-20
