+[Latin: @emph{proportio}.] Described in great detail by Gaffurius, in
+@emph{Practica musicae} (published in Milan in 1496). In mensural notation,
+proportion is:
+
+@enumerate
+
+@item A ratio that expresses the relationship between the note values that
+follow with those that precede;
+
+@item A ratio between the note values of a passage and the @q{normal}
+relationship of note values to the metrical pulse. (A special case of the
+first definition.)
+

+
+The most common proportions are:
+
+@itemize
+@item 2:1 (or simply 2), expressed by a vertical line through the
+mensuration sign (the origin of the @q{cut-time} time signature), or by
+turning the sign backwards
+@item 3:1 (or simply 3)
+@item 3:2 (@emph{sesquialtera})
+@end itemize
+
+To @q{cancel} any of these, the inverse proportion is applied. Thus:
+
+@itemize
+@item 1:2 cancels 2:1
+@item 1:3 cancels 3:1
+@item 2:3 cancels 3:2
+@item and so on.
+@end itemize

+Gaffurius enumerates five basic types of major:minor proportions and their
+inverses:

+@enumerate
+@item Multiplex, if the major number is an exact multiple of the minor (2:1,
+3:1, 4:2, 6:3); and its inverse, Submultiplex (1:2, 1:3, 2:4, 3:6)
+
+@item Epimoria or Superparticular [orig. @emph{Epimoria seu Superparticularis}],
+if the major number is one more than the minor (3:2, 4:3, 5:4); and its
+inverse, Subsuperparticular (2:3, 3:4, 4:5)
-@ref{counterpoint}.
+@item Superpartiens, if the major number is one less than twice the minor
+(5:3, 7:4, 9:5, 11:6); and its inverse, subsuperpartiens (3:5, 4:7, 5:9, 6:11)
+@item Multiplexsuperparticular, if the major number is one more than twice the

-by adding 7 octaves. The difference between those two pitches is called the
-Pythagorean comma.
+Originally, the interval by which the sum of six whole tones exceeds the octave
+-- (9:8)^6 - 2:1 = 531441:524288, or 23.5 cents.
+
+Modern acoustical theory defines it as the interval by which twelve fifths
+exceed seven octaves. To put it another way: A sequence of fifths that starts
+on C eventually circles back to C. However, this C is 23.5 @ref{cent}s higher
+than the C obtained by adding 7 octaves. The difference between those two
+pitches is the Pythagorean comma.

+The quality of a triad is determined by the precise arrangement of its
+intervals. Tertian triads can be described as a series of three notes. The
+first element is the root note (or simply @q{root}) of the chord, the second
+note is the @q{third} of the chord, and the last note is the @q{fifth} of
+the chord. These are described below:

+There are various types of seventh chords depending on the quality of the
+original chord and the quality of the seventh added.
+
+Five common types of seventh chords have standard symbols. The chord quality
+indications are sometimes superscripted and sometimes not (e.g. Dm7, Dm^7,
+and D^m7 are all identical). The last three chords are not commonly used
