No, when I spoke about ancient music I was referring to statistical analysis; pure set theory wouldn't make much sense with ancient music. But perhaps useful versions of it have been developed for that... it is a very versatile analytical methodology

To delve deeper into the subject, I recommend the book "Organizzazione delle altezze nello spazio temperato" by Luigi Verdi
