What is a synonym for 'interval'?

Answer 1

The word has different meanings. In Music Theory, the term interval describes the difference in pitch between two notes. Although frequently used in connection with intervals, the term "distance" does not adequately describe the physics and subjective effects of two interacting frequencies. Intervals may be described as: vertical (or harmonic) if the two notes sound simultaneously - linear (or melodic), if the notes sound successively. Interval class is a system of labelling intervals when the order of the notes is left unspecified, therefore describing an interval in terms of the shortest distance possible between its two pitch classes. An "interval" is the distance or time between two or more occurances. For instance, the interval between stop signs is one city block. The interval between full moons is 28 days.
