Intro to Figured Bass
... Figured bass is usually abbreviated by including just enough intervals to identify the chord. Other intervals are omitted, but the player is expected to fill them in anyway. The rationale is that squinting at too many numbers slows the performance too much, and chords can usually be written accurate ...

Microtonal music
Microtonal music or microtonality is the use in music of microtones—intervals smaller than a semitone, which are also called ""microintervals"". It may also be extended to include any music using intervals not found in the customary Western tuning of twelve equal intervals per octave.
