FEMININE RHYME
A cell possesses a FeminineRhymeif its Beat's note-value is subdivided, usually in two equal parts.

FIFTH
Tr- Distance, in the Quantitative Dimension of Pitch (frequency), seeInterval

FIFTHS (SERIES OF)
The fundamental structure of the World of Pitch in which all the notes are strung together, like a string of pearls, each at a distance of a perfect fifth from the others.

FIFTEENTH
Tr- Distance, in the Quantitative Dimension of Pitch (frequency) seeInterval

FISSION
A generativeprocedurein Melo-rhythm in which a cell is split, producing an Off-beat identical to the Beat, with a breath between the two.

FLAT
1. A chromatic semi-tone lower. 2. Symbol which designates a chromatic semi-tone lower.

FOOTSIES
Alternating movement of the feet (and balancing of the body), at any rhythmic level, to denote the Beats (on the right foot) and the Off-beats (on the left foot). seeBeatandOff-beat

FOURTH
Tr- Distance, in the Quantitative Dimension of Pitch (frequency) seeInterval

FOURTEENTH
Tr- Distance, in the Quantitative Dimension of Pitch (frequency) seeInterval

FRAME (OF A CHORD)
Composed of the 2 Primary Notes of the chord (the root and the fifth) in which one note will be theCOMMON TONEand the other thePROPER TONE, depending on the direction of the chord's resolution.

FREQUENCY
Quantitative Dimension in the World of Pitch (measured in hertz)

FUNCTION
The role which en element plays within its immediate surroundings
     in harmony, usually a note in a chord, or a chord in a diatonic system, and
     in rhythm, the nature of Alternation at any given moment.
In a generative approach, all notes (and chords) are functional (both rhythmically and harmonically).

.

FUNCTIONAL TUNING
Just Intonation Tuning in which each note is tuned according to its harmonic (and possibly melodic) function -
      FRAMEnotes (COMMON TONEandPROPER TONE) andMOTRIXs will be tuned inTrunk Tuning
      MEDIANs (diatonic and chromatic) will be tuned inShort Branch Tuning,
          major medians one comma lower, minor medians one comma higher thanTrunk Tuning
     ChromaticMOTRIXs will be tuned inLong Branch Tuning,
          diminished sevenths 2 commas higher and augmented sixths 2 commas lower thanTrunk Tuning
     Melodies are usually tuned inTrunk Tuning

FUSION
A generative procedure in Melo-rhythm in which two (or more) cells are joined into oneEntity.
