TnI Set Class = a label for the set of all pitch-class sets that are either transpositions or inversions of one other; these are the only labels that you need to
know for the Post-Tonal Ear-Training Exam #2!

Tn Set Class = A label for the set of all pitch-class sets that are transpositions of one another; the specific label for the members of a set class.

Interval Class Vector (ICV) = Summarizes the amount and types of intervals present between all of the members of each set class.
