Lattice (music)

In musical tuning, a lattice

"is a way of modeling the tuning relationships of a just intonation system. It is an array of points in a periodic multidimensional pattern. Each point on the lattice corresponds to a ratio (i.e., a pitch, or an interval with respect to some other point on the lattice). The lattice can be two-, three-, or p-dimensional, with each dimension corresponding to a different prime-number partial [pitch class]." — Gilmore (2006)

When listed in a spreadsheet a lattice may be called a tuning table.
