</p><p>While primarily an analytic tool, interval vectors can also be useful for composers, as they quickly show the sound qualities that are created by different collections of pitch class. That is, sets with high concentrations of conventionally dissonant intervals (i.e., seconds and sevenths) sound more dissonant, while sets with higher numbers of conventionally consonant intervals (i.e., thirds and sixths) sound more <a href="Consonance_and_dissonance" title="Consonance and dissonance">consonant</a>. While the actual perception of consonance and dissonance involves many contextual factors, such as <a href="Register_(music)" title="Register (music)">register</a>, an interval vector can nevertheless be a helpful tool.

</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Z-relation">Z-relation</h2></div>
<p>In musical set theory, a <b>Z-relation</b>, also called <b>isomeric relation</b>, is a relation between two pitch class sets in which the two sets have the same intervallic content (and thus the same interval vector) but they are not <a href="Transposition_(music)" title="Transposition (music)">transpositionally</a> related (are of different T<sub><i>n</i></sub>-type ) or <a href="Inversion_(music)" title="Inversion (music)">inversionally</a> related (are of different T<sub><i>n</i></sub>/T<sub><i>n</i></sub>I-type).<sup id="cite_ref-Schuijer_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Schuijer-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 99">: 99 </span></sup> For example, the two sets 4-z15A {0,1,4,6} and 4-z29A {0,1,3,7} have the same interval vector <span class="nowrap">⟨111111⟩</span> but one can not transpose and/or invert the one set onto the other.
</p><p>In the case of <a href="Hexachord" title="Hexachord">hexachords</a> each may be referred to as a <b>Z-hexachord</b>. Any hexachord not of the "Z" type is its own <a href="Complement_(music)" title="Complement (music)">complement</a> while the complement of a Z-hexachord is its Z-correspondent, for example 6-Z3 and 6-Z36.<sup id="cite_ref-Forte_5-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Forte-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 79">: 79 </span></sup> See: <a href="Schoenberg_hexachord" title="Schoenberg hexachord">6-Z44</a>, <a href="All-trichord_hexachord" title="All-trichord hexachord">6-Z17</a>, <a href="Sacher_hexachord" title="Sacher hexachord">6-Z11</a>, and <a href="Forte_number" title="Forte number">Forte number</a>.
</p><p>The symbol "Z", standing for "<a href="Zygotic" class="mw-redirect" title="Zygotic">zygotic</a>" (from the Greek, meaning paired or <a href="Yoke" title="Yoke">yoked</a>, such as the fusion of two reproductive cells),<sup id="cite_ref-Schuijer_1-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Schuijer-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 98">: 98 </span></sup> originated with Allen Forte in 1964, but the notion seems to have first been considered by Howard Hanson. Hanson called this the <i>isomeric relationship</i>, and defined two such sets as <i>isomeric</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-Hanson-1960_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hanson-1960-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 22">: 22 </span></sup> See: <a href="Isomer" title="Isomer">isomer</a>.
</p><p>According to Michiel Schuijer (2008), the <b>hexachord theorem</b>, that any two pitch-class complementary hexachords have the same interval vector, even if they are not equivalent under transposition and inversion, was first proposed by <a href="Milton_Babbitt" title="Milton Babbitt">Milton Babbitt</a>, and, "the discovery of the relation," was, "reported," by <a href="David_Lewin" title="David Lewin">David Lewin</a> in 1960 as an example of the <b>complement theorem</b>: that the difference between pitch-class intervals in two complementary pitch-class sets is equal to the difference between the cardinal number of the sets (given two hexachords, this difference is 0).<sup id="cite_ref-Schuijer_1-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Schuijer-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 96–7">: 96–7 </span></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Lewin_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Lewin-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Mathematical proofs of the hexachord theorem were published by Kassler (1961), Regener (1974), and Wilcox (1983).<sup id="cite_ref-Schuijer_1-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Schuijer-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 96–7">: 96–7 </span></sup>
</p><p>Though it is commonly observed that Z-related sets always occur in pairs, <a href="David_Lewin" title="David Lewin">David Lewin</a> noted that this is a result of twelve-tone <a href="Equal_temperament" title="Equal temperament">equal temperament</a> (12-ET). In 16-ET, Z-related sets are found as triplets. Lewin's student Jonathan Wild continued this work for other tuning systems, finding Z-related tuplets with up to 16 members in higher ET systems.
</p><p>The equivalence relationship of `having the same interval content', allowing the trivial isometric case, was initially studied in crystallography and is known as <a href="Homometric_structures" title="Homometric structures">Homometry</a>. For instance the complement theorem is known to physicists as <a href="Babinet's_principle" title="Babinet's principle">Babinet's principle</a>. For a recent survey see.<sup id="cite_ref-Mandereau_et_alii_8-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mandereau_et_alii-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Straus argues, "[sets] in the Z-relation will sound similar because they have the same interval content,"<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-Schuijer_1-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Schuijer-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup class="reference nowrap"><span title="Page / location: 125">: 125 </span></sup> which has led certain composers to exploit the Z-relation in their work.
