Basic to set theory is the notion of membership or elementhood. Indeed, set theory can be formulated in its entirety as a formal theory in which the only non-logical notion (symbol) is …

1. A set is any unordered group of unique (no-repeats) pitch classes. For example, D, F, A# is (2, 5, T). 2. To transpose a set up by n half steps, add n to each pitch class in the set. 3. To …
