Everything about Pitch Class totally explained
In
music, a
pitch class is a
set of all
pitches that are a whole number of
octaves apart, for example the pitch class C consists of the Cs in all octaves. Thus, using
scientific pitch notation the pitch class "C" is the infinite set
» . Moreover, the scale-based system appears to suggest that different tuning systems use steps of the same size ("1") but have octaves of differing size ("12" in 12-tone equal-temperament, "19" in 19-tone equal temperament, and so on), whereas in fact the opposite is true: different tuning systems divide the same octave into different-sized steps.
In general, it's often more useful to use the traditional integer system when one is working within a single temperament; when one is comparing chords in different temperaments, the continuous system can be more useful.
